England name unchanged side for Ireland game
Ticket holders to England's upcoming Six Nations clash with Ireland will see the home side field an unchanged team from the one that beat Italy.
England Coach Martin Johnson has maintained faith in the side that narrowly beat the Italians in Rome the weekend before last (February 14th).
Jonny Wilkinson, who played disappointingly in that game, has come through an injury scare to maintain his place.
However, Johnson has called up Charlie Hodgson to the squad as cover for the fly-half.
He has also brought in some new players for the subs bench, three changes in all.
Joe Worsley, Ben Foden and Lee Mears are recalled, replacing Steffon Armitage, Matthew Mullen and Dylan Hartley respectively.
Meanwhile, Ireland have called up Jonathan Sexton to replace their veteran fly-half Ronan O'Gara.
A series of changes to side that lost to France will also see Geordan Murphy replace Rob Kearney at full-back, Donncha O'Callaghan come in for Leo Cullen and Rory Best take over from banned Jerry Flannery.
England take on Ireland at Twickenham on Saturday (February 27th).
