England travel to Ireland for the next of their World Cup warm-up matches, and it is set to be a full-strength team for the hosts as they prepare for the tournament in France.
Steve Borthwick's visitors will be hoping to improve their fortunes, after a defeat to Wales two weeks ago, and a narrow victory over the same opponents last week, which was overshadowed by Owen Farrell's red card.
The furore surrounding that red card has continued throughout the last week. A ban was initially thrown out by an international panel, but World Rugby launched an appeal which will be heard on Tuesday.
