The Ireland coaching group have named their final matchday squad of the 2021 Guinness Six Nations ahead of the Round 5 clash with England at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday (KO 4.45pm).

There are a number of changes to the team that started against Scotland last Sunday starting in the half-backs where captain Johnny Sexton is joined by Conor Murray.

Garry Ringrose is ruled out of the side through injury so Bundee Aki slots in at inside centre with Robbie Henshaw shifting to the 13 jersey.

Hugo Keenan is named at full-back in a back three with Jacob Stockdale and Keith Earls.

In the front row, Tadhg Furlong is selected alongside Dave Kilcoyne and Rob Herring.

Tadhg Beirne moves into lock to partner Iain Henderson in the absence of the injured James Ryan.

Will Connors was ruled out yesterday with a knee injury in training so Josh van der Flier comes in at openside.

Jack Conan is named at No. 8 and CJ Stander moves to 6 for his final Ireland game in Aviva Stadium.
