Ireland head coach Andy Farrell has made six changes to his team for Saturday’s Six Nations clash with England.
Captain Johnny Sexton returns, while there are also starting roles for Cian Healy, James Ryan and Andrew Conway.
Connacht’s Mack Hansen misses out on the matchday 23, with James Lowe starting on the left wing.
Robbie Henshaw is among the replacements, with Bundee Aki and Garry Ringrose the preferred centre partnership.
Farrell says there were a number of tight selection calls.
“We said all along that it will be the squad effort and togetherness, that will get us through this competition and us in a good position.”
“A tough decision to make this week, but we feel the balance of the team is good.”
