Jones said: “We’ve had a really good training week with Thursday probably our best session of the Guinness Six Nations.

“Ireland are a very good team, extremely well-coached. They are a team we respect a lot. They will bring their usual physicality and under Andy Farrell they’ve opened up their game a little bit.
 
“They are a tactically smart team. Murray and Sexton, who have played 170 Tests between them, at nine and 10 will manage the game well. We’ve got to make sure we match their physicality and their emotion on the weekend.
 
“We trained at Twickenham Stadium in front of 10,000 fans last Friday and we can’t wait to get back out there in front of 80,000 people on Sunday.”

Rugby stars of yesteryear was famed for its drinking culture, which allowed many renegade characters to thrive in the game.

But even in today’s uber-professional era, there are still plenty of instances of players pushing their luck a bit too far.

After going a decade without lifting the Calcutta Cup and having to endure a long spell of England dominance, it was finally time to party in Scotland following their Six Nations victory at Murrayfield in February 2018.

Current Captain Mike Tindall was leading his country into battle at the 2011 Rugby World Cup but still had time to play a part in the ‘Mad Midget Weekender’ along with a number of other squad memnull

We couldn't pick just one from the Saracens fullbacks infamous celebrations. Check out our full timeline of his

Champions Cup celebrations.

The England rugby team were confirmed as the winners of the Six Nations championship in March 2017- despite losing to Ireland in Dublin - and many of the squad marked the occasion with an all-night party in a local nightclub complex alongside their wives and girlfriends.

Looking dishevelled with his shirt open and tie discarded, the bleary-eyed back-rower had to be helped to a waiting car wearing what appeared to be a cloth garment similar to a sarong tied over his trousers around his waist - and was still looking a little delicate when the squad checked out of the Conrad Hotel the next day

Italy prop Martin Castrogiovanni had been suspended by his club Racing 92 after pictures of him partying in Las Vegas surfaced on social media with Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The 34-year-old had told Racing that he could not play in their Champions Cup semi-final clash with Leicester Tigers as he had a family matter to attend to in Argentina. Naughty boy.null

Prince Harry was still commiserating with England’s defeated rugby stars in Paris at 1am after the 2007 World Cup final – more than 24 hours after the players began an epic drinking session with him and his brother William.

It was not only Scottish pride that was dented after they lost 9-6 to England at Murrayfield, the almost priceless Calcutta Cup itself came in for some rough treatment itself.

Following the club’s European Challenge Cup semi-final defeat by Stade Francais in 2017, the squad were given permission to unwind last Tuesday evening after training at the Rec. However, things got wild as The Chronicle

Smart is remembered for the infamous "Aftershave Incident" in 1982. While in Paris, after beating France in the Five Nations, England teammate Maurice Colclough emptied a bottle of free aftershave from the after-match meal, filled it with wine, and drank from it. Thinking that Colclough had drunk the aftershave and not wanting to appear upstaged by his teammate, Smart drank his bottle of aftershave. This made him very ill. After England medical officer Leo Walkden failed to get a response from Smart, he was required to go to hospital to have his stomach pumped.
