George Ford will make his comeback from an Achilles damage after being named on the bench by England for Saturday’s Autumn Nations Cup conflict with Eire at Twickenham.

Ford missed the current wins over Italy and Georgia to bear therapy on the long-standing problem and – having been restored to full health – head coach Eddie Jones has chosen him as fly-half cowl.

Owen Farrell continues as chief playmaker amid an unchanged backline following a 40-Zero rout of Los Lelos that has positioned England on the high of Group A with pivotal matches in opposition to Eire and Wales to come back.

Highly effective centre Ollie Lawrence is given one other likelihood to deliver ball-carrying muscle to the midfield alongside Henry Slade.
