'They know that England are going to raise their game'

PA

Any ambitions of catching France in this year’s Guinness Six Nations will be extinguished for either second place Ireland or third place England come Saturday evening after their round four meeting in London.

The England camp have viewed the last three matches of the Championship as a quarter-final, semi-final and final and after sneaking past Wales in the round three, the challenges only get harder from here. Before they even think about France in round five, England will have to get past an Ireland side Eddie Jones has labelled the “most cohesive side in the world,” and favourites going into the match.

Ireland have been hit with the withdrawal of loosehead Andrew Porter, who will miss the rest of the Championship with an ankle injury, while there is a question mark over England’s Alex Dombrandt following a positive Covid-19 result last week.

When, where and how to watch the match
The match will kick-off at 16:45 (UK) on Saturday March 12th at Twickenham and will be broadcast live on ITV in the UK, RTÉ in Ireland, Stan Sport in Australia and SuperSport in South Africa.

Head-to-head
Saturday’s match will be the 139th Anglo-Irish meeting since their first in 1875, with England leading the series with 50 wins to Ireland’s 30, with eight draws. England have won six of their last ten encounters, although Ireland came out on top 32-18 at the Aviva Stadium the last time the sides did battle.

Match odds from bet365

Prediction
Joining Brian Moore on his Full Contact podcast last week, former England winger Topsy Ojo said that the challenge for Ireland is backing up their impressive home victories against Wales and Italy in this year’s Championship with an away victory. But he stressed that England are likely to raise their game.

“Doing it at home is one thing,” Ojo said. “And even pre-red card against Italy you saw that, they did the same against Wales, scored early, got out the blocks quick and implemented their style that we’ve seen now time and time, especially from the autumn. But going away from home is a different prospect. Coming to Twickenham and almost with how England have been, they know that England are going to raise their game. So it does make for a really fascinating contest, but Ireland will almost know that they need this one.”

USA embracing ‘pressure’ in final event before World Championship

It started as an ordinary Tuesday. I was checking my Bybit portfolio when an email popped up that looked like a legitimate alert from the exchange, warning of suspicious activity. Without thinking, I clicked the link and entered my credentials. The moment I hit submit, a sinking feeling hit me. Within minutes, my Bitcoin wallet was completely drained.Losing 3.2 BTC, worth nearly $200,000 at the time, wasn’t just a financial blow. It felt like a personal violation. I couldn’t believe I had fallen for a phishing scam. I spent days digging through forums, contacting Bybit support, and even filing a police report. But the responses were disheartening and repetitive. Crypto transactions are irreversible. Scam victims rarely recover their funds. The helplessness was crushing.I barely slept. I kept replaying that moment over and over in my head. Why did I click the link? Why didn’t I double-check? The guilt and frustration consumed me. Friends tried to be supportive, but most didn’t understand the emotional and financial weight of what had happened. I had always been cautious with security. Yet in one distracted moment, everything disappeared.Weeks later, while scrolling through Reddit threads on crypto scams, I stumbled upon several mentions of GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES . At first, I was skeptical. It sounded too good to be true. But the testimonials felt genuine, and I was desperate. I decided to reach out.Their response was fast, professional, and surprisingly empathetic. They didn’t promise miracles. Instead, they explained their method: tracing blockchain transactions, identifying potential exchange cash-outs, and working with legal and crypto entities to freeze and recover funds.I sent them everything I had wallet addresses, transaction records, screenshots and waited. Just a few days later, I received an email that left me speechless. They had successfully traced and recovered all of my stolen Bitcoin.I couldn’t believe it. After being told repeatedly that the funds were gone forever, here they were, back in my wallet. It felt like waking up from a nightmare. GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES didn’t just help me get my money back. They restored my sense of security, my trust, and my peace of mind.I share my story now in case someone else out there is feeling the same panic and hopelessness I once felt. There is help. And sometimes, there is even a second chance.You can reach them on whatsapp +18582759508, web at ( https://graywaretechservices.com/ )    also on Mail: (contact@graywaretechservices.com)
