What you need to know about the England vs Ireland rugby game
Where does England vs Ireland take place?

What is a grand slam in rugby?
In sports, a grand slam is a name given to a team that partakes in a tournament and doesn't lose, though the exact use of the word differs from sport to sport. For example in tennis it's used when someone (or a pair of people) wins each of the four big events.
In rugby, the term 'grand slam' is used exclusively in Six Nations, for when one national team defeats all the others.
Grand Slams are surprisingly common in the Six Nations. France won one last year, while Wales won one in 2019, Ireland in 2018 and England in 2016.
