Dublin - Ireland captain Paul O'Connell has said on Saturday that a win over England on Sunday in the Six Nations showdown in Dublin would rank among the greatest ever achievements by an Irish team.
The 35-year-old Irish great - who will win his 99th Ireland cap - admitted it would be a tough task for the defending titleholders against an England side he rates as the strongest he has come across in what has been a long and glittering career.
That would include the team captained by Martin Johnson who thrashed the Irish in Dublin in a winners take all Grand Slam clash - O'Connell came on as a replacement that day - and went on to lift the World Cup later that year.
