England team v Ireland

February 23, 2010 by rwc

Martin Johnson has named an unchanged XV to face defending champions Ireland at Twickenham on Saturday.

The only changes are on the bench, where: hooker Lee Mears, flanker Joe Worsley and full-back Ben Foden are named, replacing hooker Steve Thompson, flanker Steffon Armitage and prop Matt Mullan, with Johnson reverting to a four-three split in the substitutes. Worsley returns to the match-day 22 after recovering from a knee injury.
