Last minute bugs-going-around news aside; Joe Marchant is in outside centre, Elliot Daly takes a seat on the bench. Jamie Blamire and Joe Launchbury also return to the matchday squad, both on the bench.

Can’t help but feel this is the proper ‘international arrival’ opportunity to Simmonds, but will he take it?

"Everywhere they go, we're going to be in their faces and we're going to take time and space away from them. "We know that they're going to cause us problems but we’re confident in our own ability. Andy Farrell: "It's part of the journey, isn’t it? Temperatures of around 10C, although it could be relatively windy. They have won 10 of their last 11 games, but eight of those wins have come at the Aviva Stadium, and having lost out in Paris earlier in the tournament, it would feel like a step backwards for this Six Nations to come and go without a big away win for Ireland. In 2019, Ireland were hockeyed in a World Cup warm-up, and although the two defeats in England in 2020 were much closer on paper, Ireland were never in a position to win either.
Ireland looked to keep their hopes of a Triple Crown and a Six Nations Championship alive as they traveled to Twickenham on Saturday.
He was unbeatable in the air at the back, however not all of his catches ended up in positive play for Ireland. He is one of the main reasons that Ireland have enjoyed the fastest ruck speed in the competition, and continued that against England. The replacement second row was crucial in the maul defence that kept England out in the first half. The Irish centre pairing were muted in the face of a 14-man England, as neither Aki nor Garry Ringrose made a huge amount of carries or tackles. He carried well, was the main reason that Ireland secured their own ball at the ruck and continues to prove himself to be undroppable. However, his overall play seemed muted, as he allowed the players around him to light up Twickenham. However, the most important part of a prop's job is to secure the scrum, and the Irish scrum was stuck in reverse against an English side scrumming with Jack Nowell at flank. In the build-up to James Lowe's first-half try, Sheehan showed his handling and creative ability, drawing the defender and putting Josh van der Flier into the gap. What this meant was that Furlong was penalised a few times at the set piece. Van der Flier carried well, and was a brick wall on defence. After 20 minutes of Irish dominance, though, England steadied the ship and began to slowly come back into the match. Smith's boot and the cracking Irish scrum put England level with 20 minutes left to play.
