The International Championship Season 1971/2 featuring today England v Ireland

Today's fixture at Twickenham presents another fascinating prospect as the jubilant Irishmen, fresh from their first victory in France for 20 years, are led yet again by the inspired captaincy of Tom Kiernan, who in this match achieves the amazing total of 50 caps.
Ireland take on the England XV who are still searching for the victory which will justify all their pre-match preparation.
The Irish need a victory to get themselves back on top of the championship with last week's winner, while the English will be fighting to get away from the bottom.
