Summary
Chris visits the England training camp in Girona and sits down with Cadan Murley who will make his long-awaited England debut this weekend after Steve Borthwick named his team to face Ireland. We deliver Murley a special message from a very proud team-mate, find out which former winger is his biggest inspiration and learn about his early career as a flanker. There was also big news in the back row, as the Curry brothers will become the first twin brothers to play for England. The man in the middle, Ben Earl joins us for a chat and tells us how special it will be to start alongside Tom and Ben having all played together back in 2014. But will the lineout be an issue for England this weekend? And are they lacking experience on the bench? We put the questions to Steve Borthwick and he explains why England have spent their whole build-up to the Six Nations overseas.
