Hugo Keenan returns as Ireland make one change to face England

Hugo Keenan has won his fitness race and will start for Ireland in their Guinness Six Nations clash with England on Saturday (4.45pm, live on RTÉ2 and RTÉ Player).

"He won’t be available for the remainder of this Six Nations."

Iain Henderson comes on to the bench having missed the last game due to a toe injury picked up on Ulster duty.

Prop Finlay Bealham returns to the squad in place of Oli Jager, who won his first cap against Wales, and has a "niggle in his knee".

There is no place in the squad for Garry Ringrose, who has recovered from a shoulder injury suffered in mid-January.

With Farrell opting for a 6:2 bench split, the versatile Frawley gets the 23 shirt.
