Ireland will need to 'empty the tank' for England Six Nations clash
Rory Best has admitted that it will take everything Ireland have got to defeat England when the sides meat in the Six Nations this weekend.
The hooker believes that, despite England's current lack of flair, their physicality makes them a tough proposition.
Best said: "On Saturday, we will have to empty the tank because it takes so much out of you to beat a side like England in Twickenham."
Ireland suffered a humbling defeat last time out in the tournament, and the Ulster captain is looking for his team to banish the memory of that experience by beating England on their home turf.
"The defeat in Paris came as a shock to the system, and there are big lessons to be learned in terms of finer details and being harder on ourselves," he said.
"It won't be forgotten until we take to the field."
Ireland take on England at Twickenham on Saturday, February 27th in the third round of games in the tournament. Wales play France in Cardiff and Scotland travel to Italy in the weekend's other fixtures.
