THE PREDICTION
Owen Farrell returns to the England starting XV and will be out to stop his father, Andy, from guiding Ireland to the Six Nations title. A win for Ireland would also secure the Grand Slam and based on their performances so far, they have to be fancied here. Combined with England’s dismantling at the hands of France last week, this could be a one-sided affair and Farrell Snr’s side can do what is needed to run out convincing winners here, covering the -14 handicap in the process.
