England 21-42 Ireland: Six Nations player ratings from Twickenham

Both England and Ireland have had muddled Six Nations campaigns so far.

England went into the championship as one of two favourites to lift the title.

Only the scrum went well against Scotland last weekend, as their 12-match winning run ended with an abrupt halt.

Jack Crowley will start at fly-half for Ireland's Six Nations match against England at Twickenham on Saturday (local time) with Sam Prendergast, who started both their opening matches, omitted from the matchday 23.

Crowley gets his chance after coach Andy Farrell praised his performance, when he came on for Prendergast last Saturday, and inspired a turnaround, steering the Irish to a 20-13 win over Italy.
