BORTHWICK TO STICK WITH 'EM

A week after being mauled 53-10 by France, England take on Grand Slam-seeking Ireland in Dublin on St Patrick’s Day weekend.

STEVE BORTHWICK has responded to England’s biggest-ever home defeat by picking all but four of the same team. 

Borthwick was expected to ring the changes but has named the same forward pack, save for replacing the injured Ollie Chessum with David Ribbans.

In the back line, fly-half Marcus Smith drops out in favour of Owen Farrell, while wing Max Malins makes way for Henry Arundell.
