Andy Farrell this afternoon named his Ireland team to play England in Saturday's final round of the Six Nations.

The side features six changes from the one which defeated Scotland at Murrayfield last weekend.

There are three changes in the backs with Bundee Aki taking the place of the injured Garry Ringrose, a selection which sees Robbie Henshaw switch to outside centre. Jacob Stockdale replaces James Lowe on the wing while Conor Murray starts at scrum-half in place of Jamison Gibson-Park.

There are three personnel changes in the forwards with Dave Kilcoyne starting at loosehead in place of Cian Healy. With James Ryan unavailable, Tadhg Beirne switches to the second row while CJ Stander moves to blindside and Jack Conan comes in to play number eight. Will Connors is unavailable due to a knee injury, meaning Josh van der Flier starts at openside.

Peter O'Mahony, available once again after serving a suspension for a red card against Wales, is on the bench.
