Overview
- Kick-off is 14:10 GMT on Saturday at the Allianz Stadium, Twickenham, with live UK coverage on ITV1 and ITVX.
- England hand 21-year-old Henry Pollock his first Test start at No 8, retain Henry Arundell after no ban for his Scotland red card, and celebrate captain Maro Itoje’s 100th cap.
- Ireland restore Jack Crowley at fly-half and omit Sam Prendergast from the 23, with Jamison Gibson-Park, Tadhg Furlong, Tadhg Beirne and Josh van der Flier returning to the XV.
- England arrive from a 31-20 loss to Scotland that ended a 12-game winning run, while Ireland rebounded from a heavy defeat to France with a scratchy win over Italy that exposed scrum and discipline issues.
- Both camps highlight set-piece and aerial control as decisive, with added edge from last summer’s British & Irish Lions ties and Ireland captain Caelan Doris vowing to put Pollock under pressure.
