Hugo Keenan starts for Ireland against England

Ireland have received a huge boost ahead of the Six Nations clash against England with Hugo Keenan recovering from a knee injury to feature in the encounter at Twickenham.

Keenan missed the clash against Wales due to the injury but now returns back at fullback replacing Ciaran Frawley which is the only change made by head coach Andy Farrell.

James Ryan is ruled out of the remainder of the competition due to a bicep injury while there is no place for Garry Ringrose in the matchday squad despite regaining full fitness.

Meanwhile, Ryan's place on the bench is taken by Iain Henderson, who has overcome a toe injury.

Ireland are at the top of the Six Nations table having won the matches against France, Italy and Wales.
