Ireland make three changes for Six Nations grand slam tilt against England

theguardian.com

The Ireland trio of Ryan Baird, Jamison Gibson-Park and Robbie Henshaw will make their first starts of this year’s Six Nations on Saturday against England.

The lock Baird and centre Henshaw replace the injured Iain Henderson and Garry Ringrose after last week’s bruising 22-7 round-four win in Scotland.

Scrum-half Gibson-Park came off the bench in Edinburgh and has been preferred to Conor Murray in the only unenforced alteration to Andy Farrell’s starting XV.

Hooker Dan Sheehan and No 8 Caelan Doris have been passed fit after their premature withdrawals during the Murrayfield mayhem.
