Ireland head-coach Andy Farrell has named an unchanged starting 15 from the win over Wales ahead of Sunday's Guinness Six Nations clash with England at Twickenham. 

The fit-again Caelan Doris must settle for a place on the bench with Munster's Peter O'Mahony retained in the back-row.

O'Mahony starts at blindside with Josh van der Flier at blindside and CJ Stander at number eight.

James Ryan and Iain Henderson are the locks with a front-row of Cian Healy, Rob Herring, and Tadhg Furlong.

Conor Murray and Johnny Sexton's partnership continues in the half-backs with former Connacht teammates Bundee Aki and Robbie Henshaw paired in midfield.

Try-scorers against Wales, Andrew Conway and Jordan Larmour, are joined in the back-three by Jacob Stockdale.

Victory for Ireland would see them seal a 12th Triple Crown.

Ireland v England: Jordan Larmour; Andrew Conway, Robbie Henshaw, Bundee Aki, Jacob Stockdale; Johnny Sexton (captain), Conor Murray; Cian Healy, Rob Herring, Tadhg Furlong; Iain Henderson, James Ryan; Peter O’Mahoney, Josh van der Flier, CJ Stander

Replacements: Ronan Kelleher, Dave Kilcoyne, Andrew Porter, Devin Toner, Caelan Doris, John Cooney, Ross Byrne, Keith Earls.
