A constant threat for any defence, strong-running Harlequins centre Greenwood is not an easy man to halt when in full flow.
Greenwood's predatory style stood England in good stead in the World Cup as he scored important tries against South Africa and Wales and often looked the only member of the three-quarters - apart from Jason Robinson - who could break down concerted defence.
Earlier in his career, he was plagued by injuries but the son of former England coach Dick Greenwood has remained a valuable member of the England set-up.
Greenwood is quite capable of snatching a try in the tightest match - thereby changing the whole tenor of the game - with his incisive breaks and quick thinking.
The clash with Ireland at Twickenham marked Greenwood's 50th in an England shirt, and there appears to be plenty of gas still in the tank.
