Eddie Jones has brought in two new faces for England’s final clash of the NatWest 6 Nations with Don Armand and Nick Isiekwe added to the squad to face Ireland.
The pair replace Nathan Hughes and Courtney Lawes, both of whom are suffering with knee injuries after the defeat in Paris.
England saw their NatWest 6 Nations hopes ended with the 22-16 loss to France, but they will take on Ireland at Twickenham next Saturday looking to avoid a third straight loss in the Championship.
The Irish have already been crowned champions thanks to results on Saturday and will be going after a third Grand Slam in their history on the final weekend.
Armand comes into the squad having won his only cap to date on last summer’s tour of Argentina, while Isiekwe also made his England debut in that encounter.
The Saracens lock or flanker also featured in November against Samoa, but has not yet made an appearance in the Championship.
England sit third in the table after four rounds, and could finish anywhere between second and fifth depending on results on the final day.
