Crunch time on BBC Sport
Ireland and England go head to head live on BBC Sport
Ireland v England
Saturday 20 October 1500 BST Live on BBC One Grandstand, BBC Radio Four 198 LW and BBC Sport Online Ireland and England go head-to-head at Lansdowne Road as the 2001 TSB Six Nations championship reaches an exciting climax. England need a win to secure their first Grand Slam since 1995. Only Ireland stand between them and a clean sweep in the championship. Last year, Scotland denied Clive Woodward's team the Grand Slam with a famous victory at rain-soaked Murrayfield, and the Irish will have their sights set on a similar upset. Television coverage starts on BBC One with a match preview at 1300 BST, and the build-up from 1400. Kick-off is at 1500, and the whole match is live with commentary from Bill McLaren.
Radio Four 198 LW will have live commentary from 1430 with Ian Robertson and Alastair Hignell. Joining them will be rugby greats Rob Andrew, Lawrence Dallaglio and Hugo MacNeill. You can hear the live audio commentary on BBC Sport Online. There will also be a running clockwatch of all the match action. BBC Sport Online also offer you the inside information from the English and Irish camps ahead of the game with our pundits Matt Dawson and Brian O'Driscoll. And you can have your say after the game when experts will be on hand to answer your e-mails.
