Ireland vs England 6 Nation live Rugby

by James Spangler All Blacks Rugby

England Ireland Rugby streaming will take on reigning champions Ireland at the Twickenham Stadium on Saturday 23th February, during the second round of the 2020 Six Nations Championship.

England Ireland rugby stream are the reigning champions. They won five out of five in 2019, meaning they also claimed the Grand Slam (for beating every team) and Triple Crown (for beating the other 'Home Nations', ie England, Scotland and Ireland).

All matches will be shown live on either the BBC or ITV. Every Ireland Six Nations 2020 game will also be shown on S4C. FR2 will be broadcasting every game in France, TV3 in Ireland and DMAX in Italy. In America, NBC will broadcast every game of the Championship.

This is where Tandy comes in. Given that Scotland's defence leaks like a sieve, he's massively important. Of all the decisions that Townsend has made over the last week the trust he's placed in Tandy is the biggest of the lot. There's a limit to what the Welshman can do in such a narrow coaching window, but he needs to make a start on revolutionising England vs Ireland live stream defence or there's no hope.

Ireland's attack is dangerous enough. It can trouble any team. It's in their chronic inability to keep the score down at the other end where the crisis lays. And crisis is not too strong a word. Tandy has his work cut out. So much is riding on him finding a solution to Ireland's glaring deficiencies in defence.

The team needs a captain and there's uncertainty there. Stuart McInally was the leader going to the World Cup but lost his place to Brown, who deserves to hold on Six Nations 2020 live to the jersey on the balance of form. If Townsend sees it that way then he needs a new captain, but who?

Somebody who is guaranteed their place, but again you ask, who? Hogg, Russell, Jonny Gray - all three are probably better off without the burden. Grant Gilchrist could do it but might find his own place in jeopardy if Skinner and Richie Gray hit their stride. Watson or Ritchie - interesting options for sure that would reflect a new era. Brown would have to be a big part of the conversation as well.

Without a stand-out candidate, Townsend might just revert to McInally - if he wants to take it on again - in the hope that he finds his best stuff after a bruising World Cup. The same goes for many others, including the coach himself.

The year ahead is going to be savage with a England vs Ireland Rugby Live Stream, a summer tour to South Africa and New Zealand and New Zealand to play again in the autumn. This is going to be tough and thrilling, same as it ever was.
