The eyes of the rugby union world will turn to Twickenham on Saturday as Ireland try to jump the “final hurdle” that will see them win just their third grand slam.

Some 70 years since they completed their first clean sweep in the old Five Nations, Ireland will match their 1948 and 2009 predecessors if they see off England on St Patrick’s Day, having wrapped up the title with a week to spare.
