Danny Care is set to earn his 100th cap for England in their upcoming match against Ireland, marking a significant milestone in his rugby career that began with his debut in 2008 against New Zealand. Care's achievement places him two caps ahead of Keven Mealamu as the player with the most Test caps as a substitute, with 57 of his 100 caps coming from the bench. Steve Borthwick praised Care as a wonderful player who always puts the team first. The England vs. Ireland match also features a notable performance from the England U20 team, who played a closely contested game against their Irish counterparts. The match ended in a dramatic 32-32 draw, denying England the U20 Six Nations title. This result mirrors a previous encounter between the two sides at the U20 World Cup last year, which also ended in a 35-35 draw. The senior teams' match is anticipated to be equally competitive, with both teams showcasing their strengths in what promises to be a memorable game for Danny Care.

BEN EARL POWERS OVER FOR ENGLAND! 💪🌹 There's no stopping him from there. #ITVRugby | #GuinnessM6N | @premrugby | @Saracens https://t.co/nMOOzINUlY
England dominance = Down four at half-time. Far too many errors in a half that Ireland needed to be wobbled in given the possession and territory advantage. The purple patch will come for Ireland in the second half and unlike England, they’ll capitalise. #GuinnessSixNations
Congratulations to Danny Care earning his 100th cap today 🏴 Can England get the win to make this a day to remember for the centurion? #EnglandRugby #SixNations https://t.co/qKgBXuee60
What a half! Ireland starting to pull away in the final minutes. Can England get back in to it? #ENGvIRE https://t.co/VNNFkMnZdC
Unshakeable Ireland lead England 8-12 at the break, key penalties blighting a competitive performance from Steve Borthwick's men. #ENGvIRE #SixNationsRugby https://t.co/jGCWETKi9z

Ireland take a lead into the break despite England having the upper hand in much of the game https://t.co/LPLVJSu9yZ
England super fizzy and fiery in the first half-hour, and showing loads, but crushed again by their profligacy. Six 22 entries for eight points so far. Ireland rope-a-doping them. So encouraging, but England need to keep coming. #ENGvIRE #SixNations
Ollie Lawrence is making such a difference to the England midfield. Making metres, bashing holes, creating space for others. Half backs dream. I maintain this is a belting game. Wait for the Ireland counter punch, 2pts down, they're drawing the England sting
🏴 Ollie Lawrence's try. What an opening quarter it's been from England! #ENGvIRE #GuinnessM6N https://t.co/LrX0eQdTqj
England getting a huge amount of speed in their attack so far. Drawing Ireland into a kicking battle, Ireland kicking too long and then England run it right back at them. Ireland need to either chase better or keep the ball. #ENGvIRE

Brilliant try from England on the counter to work the ball through the hands and score wide left. Nash's injury just beforehand key to opening the gap. England finish it ruthlessly. Lightning start to this game! #ENGvIRE

Crazy ending in the u20s last night 🤯 England thought they had it won, sparking celebrations from the bench, forgetting the visitors had penalty advantage. Minutes later Ireland forced their way over the line to snatch a draw. https://t.co/qfqDrv6yKY

Ireland rescue last-gasp draw against England to keep U20 title ambitions alive: https://t.co/anPZ3IINXj
Ireland deny England the U20 Six Nations title at the death. 🏴 32-32 ☘️ It’s another draw. You can’t split these two sides. They drew 35-35 at the U20 World Cup last year too.
Great game between England U20 and Ireland U20… wild advantage at the end, mind.
A couple of Irish penalties and knock-ons allow England to work down the pitch and Ben Waghorn scores out wide. Superb touchline conversion from Sean Kerr to put England 7 up with less than 2 minutes left #ENGvIRE
Much better from England 20s. Playing the power game. Being very direct. Great spot to see the kick space was there our wide afterwards. #ENGvIRE
Excellent game so far between the England and Ireland 20s. Mad to see how closely these young players can mirror the styles of the senior teams at such a young age. England's pack hugely powerful, Ireland's attack great at playing to width, let's see which wins out #ENGvIRE
Superb team try from Ireland U20s! Another attacking kick from Murphy, some brutal carries from Spicer and Ward. Then Murphy with the bridge pass and Treacy sends O'Connor over. Ireland beating England's blitz so far. Excellent score. https://t.co/PBWneEwJK4
Fantastic try from the Irish 20s. England's blitz keeps giving them that space out wide and they keep taking it. #ENGvIRE
Pinpoint kick from Jack Murphy, excellent finish from Finn Treacy. Great try from the Irish 20s. #ENGvIRE https://t.co/Da9RvegoCc
Really interesting to watch the England U20s coming with such aggressive defensive linespeed à la the England senior team. Ireland U20s doing a good job so far of getting beyond edge of D with longer passes from their centres and had evidently spoken about attacking kicks.
Ireland U20s pounce after a nervy opening minutes! Jack Murphy cross kick and Pacy Finn Treacy with the finish. https://t.co/4XNRJd04Pi
Super kick from Muphy, excellent finish from Treacy. That's a great settler for the Ireland 20s. #ENGvIRE
Super kick from Muphy, excellent finish from Treacy. That's a great settler for Ireland. #ENGv
That England 20s pack is just so destructive. Very rare that you see such dominance from the very first scrum. Ireland's handling will have to be immaculate to build momentum in this match. #ENGvIRE
First start 🤝 100th Cap A huge day for @dannycare & Immanuel Feyi-Waboso 🌹 #ENGvIRE https://t.co/MT5rgaxZ0b
