Ireland have been defeated in their first three fixtures but McWilliams is 'embracing' the challenge of hosting an unbeaten English outfit in Cork. "We are under no illusions of the size of the task ahead of us but this is a test we will embrace and relish," the Irish head coach said.
"We are aiming to get better week-on-week and the squad remain focused on our process, preparation and attitude.
“This journey will involve many twists and turns, but as a group of players and management, we have confidence in each other and in the collective belief that we are on a path of progression."
Saturday’s match is live on RTÉ2.
