Jared Payne wants to beat England, in the most understated way possible

Get in, get out, get a win... if possible.

'We have to be on our game, otherwise they can make us look pretty silly.' That is the warning from Ireland centre Jared Payne ahead of his side's clash against England, at Twickenham.. Payne does not do hyperbole but he does recognise the import of heading to the World Cup with a spring in the step. Losing a second game on the trot - after the Wales defeat - would further clip Ireland's wings. Payne, who was named alongside Robbie Henshaw in the Irish midfield, says, 'Yeah, it'd be nice to get a win.... When you play England, it's never a warm-up is it? It's going to be a full-on Test.' https://youtu.be/EsBjc7ngSmQ
