England v Ireland 3rd Place Playoff Preview

England (4/9) face Ireland (7/4) at Twickenham, and aim to avoid a fifth successive Six Nations defeat by the Emerald Islanders. Both teams are now out of the running after poor campaigns, but could salvage some pride with a morale-boosting victory over a big scalp.

Last time out Ireland battered England 43-13 and with recriminations flying in Brian Ashton's camp, another mauling could be on the cards and Six Nations betting odds Ireland are 28/1 for a victory by 21-25 points. Last time England beat Ireland it was however by a 36 point margin. More of the same (a 36-40 point margin) is an outside shot at 22/1.
