IRELAND INCONSISTENCY
Saturday's game will ultimately colour the perception of Ireland's campaign after a down-and-up four rounds of action up to this point.
Andy Farrell's side have bounced back from the opening two losses - one in circumstances which saw Ireland play Wales whilst being a man down away from home for over an hour, and the other to a strong French outfit in a tight game in Dublin - with two victories.
Beating Italy in round three was a pre-requisite and achieved with relative ease but while there were some positives in the win over Scotland last Sunday, squandering a 14-point advantage before the late winning penalty by Johnny Sexton opened up further concerns about where this team is two Six Nations championships into the Farrell era.
The question marks over the Irish attack have not gone away, and while individual errors have been notable, the defence is not completely watertight either as things stand.
There is an element of inconsistency within inconsistency. For example, the Irish side were actually the better side against Wales for a section of the game after the Peter O'Mahony red card before falling short.
France were savvier a week later for long stretches, but Ireland only lost by two points in a game in which James Lowe had a try ruled out because his boot strayed into touch as he got the ball down.
And as mentioned previously, the Scotland game highlighted some positives and negatives in a narrow win in Murrayfield.
ENGLAND
While there is uncertainty about the men in green, Saturday's opponents have not enjoyed a vintage campaign either, starting with their loss to Scotland at Twickenham on the opening weekend.
Losing to Wales was a hammer blow, but rallying to victory against France has boosted their morale in time for their trip to Dublin.
And they come here as favourites against Ireland, having won the last four head-to-head matches in a row, with two of those coming in the Six Nations.
It was actually here in Dublin two years ago that Eddie Jones' side reached for a power game template that Ireland have found difficult to crack, with last year's Six Nations game at Twickenham seeing Farrell's side once again "out-muscled, out-fought and, worst of all, out-thought".
England are not likely to deviate much from the tactics that have worked, so it will fall upon Ireland's strategists to show what has been learned in the interim.
But with injuries in key positions, a spanner has been thrown into the works, with Donal Lenihan reasoning that "the pendulum seems to be swinging very much towards England".
TEAM NEWS
With Conor Murray's recall to the starting team, there is an element of the tried-and-trusted to the Ireland XV Farrell has named.
Jacob Stockdale, who missed the early part of the tournament through injury, is also back in on the wing in place of James Lowe's whose defensive shortcomings have been exposed during this campaign and thus sees the Leinster wing taken out of the firing line.
Similarly, Bundee Aki who had also sat out the rest of the tournament will slot back in at inside centre alongside his in-form former Connacht sparring partner Robbie Henshaw in place of the injured Garry Ringrose.
Ringrose is not the only notable absentee with James Ryan and Will Connors missing this weekend, meaning Tadhg Beirne moves into the second row, and Josh van der Flier joining a back-row that includes Jack Conan and the soon-to-retire CJ Stander.
Meanwhile, England have reshuffled slightly to make up for the absence of the injured Henry Slade. His void at centre will be filled by Elliot Daly, who will make his first England start in that position for almost five years.
Ireland: Hugo Keenan, Keith Earls, Robbie Henshaw, Bundee Aki, Jacob Stockdale, Johnny Sexton (capt), Conor Murray; Dave Kilcoyne, Rob Herring, Tadhg Furlong, Iain Henderson, Tadhg Beirne, CJ Stander, Josh van der Flier, Jack Conan.
Replacements: Ronán Kelleher, Cian Healy, Andrew Porter, Ryan Baird, Peter O'Mahony, Jamison Gibson-Park, Billy Burns, Jordan Larmour.
