Ireland team named for England clash in Six Nations

Andy Farrell has opted for the same 15 that secured a convincing win over Wales for Ireland's trip to Twickenham.

Johnny Sexton and Conor Murray retain their places as the half-back pairing following strong showings against the Welsh.

Jordan Larmour starts again at full-back, while Robbie Henshaw partners Bundee Aki at centre.

Ulster's Jacob Stockdale and Munster's Andrew Conway round out the backs.

Rob Herring, Tadhg Furlong, Iain Henderson, Peter O'Mahony, Josh van der Flier and CJ Stander make up the forward selections.

Caelan Doris replaces Leinster teammate Max Deegan on the bench - having missed the Wales win due to a head injury picked up against Scotland.
