England's back line looks set to be altered slightly for the match against Ireland at the Aviva Stadium, with Jonny May returning to his club to be replaced by Exeter's Jack Nowell, per BBC Sport.
May has been a regular fixture in the side for the last 18 months, but has looked far from his best in the Six Nations thus far, per the Gain Line:
Stuart Lancaster's other change in the backs looks set to be enforced, with Mike Brown failing to recover from a head injury suffered during the Italy game, and likely to be replaced by Alex Goode, per Mick Cleary in the Telegraph.
Brown will be a huge loss considering his immense quality at full back, but Lancaster will be looking to the likes of Ben Youngs, George Ford, Jonathan Joseph and Anthony Watson to continue their fine form against Ireland.
The Irish have yet to hit their best form in the opening encounters against Italy and France, but they have won them both, and will definitely raise their game for the visit of England.
Against France, the returning Johnny Sexton inspired a try-less 18-11 victory, and he will be essential if Ireland are to control the play in Dublin.
England showed weakness in defence against Italy last time out despite their convincing win, conceding three tries.
But Lancaster's men arguably have more strength in depth than Ireland, and if they dominate in the forwards, they should claim a potentially championship-winning victory.
France's clash with Wales on Saturday could also be a key encounter in the outcome of the Six Nations, both teams having won one and lost one so far in the tournament.
Warren Gatland has named his team for the Stade de France clash, George North returning after his concussion issues while Alex Cuthbert makes way, per BBC Wales Sport:
France produced a scrappy win over Scotland in their opener and seem to be leaning more on the power of their pack than their traditional flair as they look to grind out victories.
However, at home, and with the likes of Teddy Thomas, Yoann Huget and Wesley Fofana in the back line, they could cause Wales some real problems, as Gatland's men look to avoid a second tournament loss after their opening-day defeat to England.
Wales themselves have immense quality all over the park, though, and it should be an exciting, brutal encounter in France's capital.
Finally, Scotland should be able to get the victory they have richly deserved in this tournament when they host Italy at Murrayfield on Saturday.
Vern Cotter's men look a much-improved outfit from last year, their three-point defeat to Wales last time out a result of indiscipline which needs to be ironed out, as it proved decisive on the opening day against the French also.
However, the Scots look very positive with the ball at present, and in Stuart Hogg they have a fantastic talisman who can finish superbly, per Rugby World's Owain Jones:
They should be able to overcome an Italian side who fought terrifically well early on against both Ireland and England, but don't seem to have the stamina to see out the full 80 minutes at their highest level.
The winner of England's game with Ireland will be heavy favourites to win the 2015 Six Nations after the third round of action, and Sunday's match is arguably the best match of the entire tournament.
However, there is quality throughout the squads this year, and there are likely to be great clashes elsewhere, with Wales and France certainly not yet out of championship contention.
