Feyi-Waboso gets first England start against Ireland

BAGSHOT, England : Winger Immanuel Feyi-Waboso will make his first start for England against Ireland on Saturday, with Alex Mitchell and George Martin also returning as coach Steve Borthwick made three changes on Thursday from the team beaten by Scotland

The Cardiff-born Feyi-Waboso, 21, scored a try as a replacement in the 30-21 defeat at Murrayfield two weeks ago and starts on the right wing, with Tommy Freeman switching to the left and Elliot Daly dropping to the bench.

Martin, also impressive as a replacement, comes in to add his power at lock, with Ollie Chessum shifting to blindside flanker. Mitchell returns after injury at scrumhalf, with Danny Care set to win his 100th cap off the bench.

"I’d like to pay special tribute to Danny Care," Borthwick said. "Danny has been a tremendous servant to English rugby and reaching this milestone is an incredible achievement. He’s a wonderful player and someone who always puts the team first.

"I’m sure Saturday will be an emotional and memorable day for Danny and his family, and the team couldn’t be prouder of his accomplishment."

George Furbank retains his fullback position ahead of Freddie Steward while flyhalf Marcus Smith is on the bench and set for his first appearance of this year's Six Nations after recovering from a calf injury.
