Ireland have named a strong starting team to play England at Twickenham in their second World Cup warm-up game.

Already this month, Ireland easily defeated Italy at the Aviva.

Saturday's game will see Joe Schmidt continue to survey his options at out-half with Ross Byrne starting the game and Jack Carty on the bench.

Jean Kleyn, the South African-born second row who won his first cap for Ireland in the game against Italy, will start alongside Iain Henderson.
