'If Ed Sheeran is listening then he's always welcome into camp!'

Jamie George wants Ed visit

Jamie George insists England must be ready to fight for every inch against Ireland’s scrappers on Sunday. The Guinness Six Nations reaches a critical juncture this weekend with events at Twickenham helping to shape a title race that Eddie Jones’ men are marginal favourites to win, despite having lost to France on the opening weekend.

One of Ireland’s strengths is the ferocious commitment of their forwards, who are wily operators on the floor, and George knows what is coming against Grand Slam-chasing opponents. “It’s attritional and that’s what you expect from Ireland,” Saracens and Lions hooker George said.

“If you look at any Irish club team, they make you fight for absolutely everything and it’s the same with the national team. They are, to a man, scrappers. They make you fight for everything and we’re fully prepared for that. Physicality is something we’ve been speaking about this week.

“When we’ve played well against these guys we’ve fronted up physically. That’s got to be at the forefront of our minds. We know we need to beat them if we’re going to win the title.

“We didn’t get off to the best start but we laid some foundations against Scotland and we’ve built on those over the last couple of weeks. We’re expecting to produce a different level to what you’ve seen from us already in this Six Nations.”

Ireland are now under the guidance of Andy Farrell, the former Britain rugby league captain and dual-code international who has stepped up to the role of head coach having made his name as an authority on defence.

“Andy will make sure their identity always remains the same, but he will add his touch of class. He’s already taken their defence to a different level,” George said. “Having worked with him a couple of times, he’s got a great knowledge of defence, around attack and in the kicking game. He’s also got a lot of clever ideas.

“He adds that touch of class to them. He’s a strong leader who speaks incredibly well and he’ll have them jumping out of that changing room and ready to go. That’s added a huge string to their bow and we’ve seen that in the first two rounds. We’re expecting a very physical Ireland team.”

U2 singer Bono made a motivational visit to the Irish camp at the start of the week and England have since decided which pop star they would like to see. “We actually spoke about this. If Ed Sheeran is listening then he’s always welcome into camp! We’d make him a coffee and make him feel at home,” George said.

Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
