England hosts Ireland at Twickenham on Saturday in Round 3 of the 2026 Six Nations, with both teams looking to sharpen up after mixed recent outings.
England is coming off a 31-20 loss to Scotland, and Steve Borthwick has made a statement selection by giving Henry Pollock his first Test start at No. 8.
Tom Curry returns to the starting back row and Ben Earl shifts across as England looks for a more complete 80 minute performance.
Ireland arrives after edging Italy 20-13 in Dublin, but Andy Farrell has still made a key change at fly half, restoring Jack Crowley to the starting lineup to guide the attack against an England side determined to respond at home.
