All you know with England is that they'll be very physical, very strong at the set-piece.
They bring massive line speed in defence but Eddie Jones has been moving away from a structured game in the tournament so far. He hasn't had massive success as a consequence of that and I feel now they may go back to that more physical approach, attack Ireland in the set-piece and attack them in the breakdown.
The quality and speed at which Ireland have been able to recycle the ball has been the key element of their game - Jamison Gibson-Park's service has been outstanding - so I'm expecting a massive, physical confrontation from England at the breakdown.
The fact that Tom Curry has been passed fit to play after some concussion issues is a huge factor there. No question, breakdown is going to be a huge. It's always difficult at Twickenham but that's an area where England will look to take Ireland on in.
I think we can get over the line. If you look at both teams I think Ireland are stronger overall. We'd be a little bit more confident if we were starting with Andrew Porter and Rónan Kelleher because then you are springing the likes of a Cian Healy and Dan Sheehan off the bench.
We don't have that luxury this time so that evens up things a little bit. Ireland have more to offer in attack; I think England have only scored two tries in the championship outside of the Italian game. If Ireland can match that ability to generate that quick ball, their attacking game has been superb, then I think they'll have too much for England in the end.
Wales v France
Cardiff on a Friday night is always a difficult one. This French team have passed every test that has been thrown at them so far. The potential banana skin was in Scotland - they lost to Scotland twice in the last two years. I was really impressed with them in Murrayfield.
I think it will be a closer game than people think but France will be good enough to go into the last round of the championship with a Grand Slam still on offer.
