IRELAND HEAD COACH Andy Farrell has been forced to make a change to the team he named earlier this week for this weekend’s game against England.
Iain Henderson has had to withdraw due to family reasons, so Devin Toner has been promoted to the second row having initially been selected as a replacement.
Toner, who came off the bench in the wins over Scotland and Wales, will win his 70th Ireland cap.
His place on the bench will be filled by Ultan Dillane.
Twickenham will play host to Sunday’s Six Nations encounter [KO 3pm, Virgin Media One].
