Views from the camp

Red Roses head coach Simon Middleton: "Playing three physical matches against top opposition back-to-back is very attritional and understandably can take its toll. 
 
“When I asked Katy if she’d captain the side, I honestly didn’t know it would fall on such an occasion and knowing her as I have come to I’m pretty sure she didn’t either. What I do know is that even after winning the World Cup as captain in 2014, the smile on her face when I asked her to captain the side said everything you need to know about one of England’s greatest-ever players.

“All the players and staff can’t wait for Saturday in what we know will be another tough game. As a squad and staff group alike, we would like to say a huge thank you to everyone within the RFU family who has made this game possible, to all the supporters who have wished us well over the last few weeks and to everyone for tuning in to watch."

England head coach Eddie Jones: “I’ve picked the strongest team possible for the most important game of our season.

“We have the highest respect for the Ireland and their coach Andy Farrell. They’ve had good preparation with two wins and a dominant display against Wales, and we will need to be at our best on Saturday.

“We’ve trained well this week, we’re expecting a tough, physical game against Ireland and we’ve reflected that in our sessions. We’ll look to lift our performance even higher and are looking forward to a really good game of rugby.”

Ireland head coach Andy Farrell: "Ross has been involved in some big games for Leinster and this is his chance to go to Twickenham and be part of a great team performance as well.

“I saw something nine months ago when we went into the Six Nations, the start of the Six Nations, where James Ryan started to think probably, while people are talking about me in this vein, maybe I should start doing something about it. He has 100% come to the fore in his curiousness about how he wants to lead, etc. I’ve been super impressed over the last nine months with how he handles himself, first and foremost, and how he interacts and thinks about others as well.

“I can’t wait for them to get out there and show what they can do. We’re concentrating on ourselves. We gain confidence in how we prepare and making sure we understand how we want to play the game and that’s how we’re going in.”
