Henry Slade ruled out of Ireland clash with calf injury

A calf injury has ruled Henry Slade out of England’s game against Ireland (PA)

Elliot Daly will make his first England start at outside centre for almost five years after Henry Slade was ruled out of Saturday’s Guinness Six Nations clash with Ireland due to a calf injury.

Daly last appeared in the 13 jersey against South Africa in 2015 and one round after being ousted at full-back by Max Malins, the versatile Lions back is restored to the starting XV.
