England's campaign is on the line as Henry Pollock earns his first Test start at No. 8 for their Six Nations clash with Ireland. Coach Steve Borthwick has urged the dynamic young player to express himself and ignite a much-needed revival for the team.
Ireland responds with five personnel changes, seeing the return of key forwards Tadhg Furlong and Tadhg Beirne, alongside back-rower Josh van der Flier. Jack Crowley is set to partner scrum-half Jamison Gibson-Park in a reshuffled backline.
