England's Six Nations title hopes were effectively ended after a record 42-21 defeat to Ireland at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham, with Ellis Genge apologising to supporters and admitting the squad had "believed the hype" after their opening-round win.
Ellis Genge insists England are determined to rediscover the missing fight that resulted in their collapse against France when they aim to ruin Ireland's Grand Slam celebrations on Saturday.
Ellis Genge views the final two rounds of the Six Nations as the ultimate barometer of the advances made so far during Steve Borthwick's England rebuild.
