Ireland coach Eddie O’Sullivan has kept faith with the side that beat Scotland 15-9 for Saturday’s final Six Nations Championship clash with England at Twickenham.

The only change is on the bench where Wasps flanker Jonny O’Connor replaces Munster’s Mick O’Driscoll, having recovered from a groin injury.

Success at Twickenham would hand Ireland their second Triple Crown in three years while they also have a chance of winning the championship outright.

IRELAND (v England): Geordan Murphy, Shane Horgan, Brian O'Driscoll, Gordon D'Arcy, Andrew Trimble, Ronan O'Gara, Peter Stringer, Marcus Horan, Jerry Flannery, John Hayes, Malcolm O'Kelly, Paul O'Connell, Simon Easterby, David Wallace, Denis Leamy.

Replacements: Rory Best, Simon Best, Donncha O'Callaghan, Johnny O'Connor, Eoin Reddan, David Humphreys, Girvan Dempsey.
