Ireland host England in the fourth round of the TikTok Women's Six Nations in Musgrave Park on Saturday afternoon (2.15pm).
Greg McWilliams' charges have lost three from three, against Wales, France and Italy, while the Red Roses, ranked world number one, are on their usual course for the Grand Slam, which they have won in four of the last five years that the tournament was completed.
They have beaten Scotland, Italy and Wales by a combined total of 185 points to 15 this season.
Ireland have only ever beaten England twice in the Women's Six Nations and that stat is unlikely to change this weekend.
