Ireland name team for Grand Slam decider with England

Jack O'Toole

Ireland head coach Joe Schmidt has made just one change to his side for the Grand Slam decider with England on Saturday.

Ulster and Lions second row Iain Henderson comes back into the side with Devin Toner dropping to the bench.

After winning his third title in the last five years against Scotland last weekend, Schmidt now has an opportunity to win his first Grand Slam as Ireland coach should his side defeat Eddie Jones’ England this weekend.

Ireland have not won at Twickenham since 2010 but face an England side coming into the match fresh off of back-to-back losses to both France and Scotland.

Injury doubts Peter O’Mahony (leg) and Rob Kearney (ankle), who both sat out Tuesday’s penultimate full training session with knocks, have been given the benefit of the doubt and are slated to start.
