The Ireland Team to play England at Twickenham on St. Patrick’s Day in the final game of the 2012 RBS 6 Nations Championship has been named.
There is one change to the starting XV which took the field last weekend with Sean O’Brien returning, having recovered from the skin infection which ruled him out of that game. Peter O’Mahony moves to the replacements.
Keith Earls and Cian Healy will both win their 30th caps on Saturday while Donncha O’Callaghan joins Paul O’Connell on 85.
Ireland Captain Rory Best will become Ireland’s most capped hooker on his 59th appearance on Saturday.
