Sunday's RBS Six Nations clash in Dublin will not be for the faint-hearted but don't expect England prop Joe Marler to go missing in action.
Look ahead
England will arrive in Dublin having struggled there in recent years. They have won just two of their last seven encounters in the Irish capital - and were thumped by a record 43-13 at Croke Park in 2007.
However, Marler insists the England squad will pay little notice to their past performances in Dublin.
"You can look at the history of the tournament and look back at stuff like that, but you take it each game as it comes, it is that old cliché," he said.
"We will just look ahead to this game and have a look at how they got on against Wales."
