Billy Vunipola confident of Ireland trip as long as England show more intensity

England can beat Ireland if they play in the same way they did against Wales, says Billy Vunipola.

England number eight Billy Vunipola has called on his teammates to rediscover their form from Cardiff two weeks ago, as they prepare to face Ireland next week.

England and Ireland have won both of their Six Nations games so far, and experts are predicting that the game next Sunday will be a championship decider.

Vunipola believes that his side will win if they can play in the same manner which saw them beat Wales 21-16.

He told reporters: "We are in good stead and hopefully we can get over the injury to Brownie [Mike Brown]. I know we have a lot to work on again but I think we just need to bring the intensity which we had in Wales to Dublin, and I am sure we will be fine."

England have beaten Ireland in the last three Six Nations tournaments.
