With Ireland having clinched the Six Nations championship following their win at home to Scotland and France's victory over the English, attention has automatically turned to next week's away trip to Twickenham.
While England can't stop Ireland from winning the Six Nations, they can prevent an Irish grand slam on the final day, which is something former Munster scrum-half Tomas O'Leary believes is something the Irish players have to be wary of.
Speaking to Off The Ball's Nathan Murphy at the Aviva Fan Studio after the Scotland game, O'Leary talked about how important it is for the side to turn up at 100%, as the expectation to go unbeaten throughout the tournament is now there both inside and out of the camp.
"The last thing they'll want is to let us win a grand slam in Twickenham next week, so obviously we're going to hopefully get the championship presented to us next week in Twickenham, but it'll take a bit of gloss off it if we don't do the grand slam. So it's still going to be a massive game".
"The way things are going we're going to be disappointed if we don't win the grand slam with a bonus point. If we win a championship and it's not a grand slam with a bonus point we're all going to be gutted".
"It's just a reflection of the standards set under Joe Schmidt. The boys fully expect to win a grand slam, this has been in the back of their minds for the last two of three weeks. This Irish team won't be happy unless they do that".
Ulster winger Andrew Trimble also noted the expectation from the fans and players, something that hasn't always been there in recent seasons, and commended the players and fans for keeping calm ahead of the England test despite winning our third championship in five years.
"It's all business, isn't it? It's strange, it's just a very straight forward bonus point win. They're sort of going, 'well done, boys, lets move on and get a win in Twickenham and get a grand slam', like it's nothing".
"Potentially we might have won the championship today. We're all getting a little carried away and very fussy. Hopefully a grand slam will keep us all happy".
