Noel McNamara has made four changes to the Ireland Under-20s team that defeated Scotland 30-25 on Friday.
Ireland travel to Coventry to face England, who are tussling with France for the Under-20s Six Nations title, although the Irish, three points back, have an outside chance of winning.
The front row sees three new faces take to the field, with props Jordan Duggan and Jack Aungier coming in for James French and Tom O’Toole, who drop to the bench.
At hooker, Eoghan Clarke comes in for the injured Ronan Kelleher.
The other change sees James Hume come in on the right wing in place of Mark Keane, with Angus Kernohan moving to the left.
Head coach McNamara said: “It was good to come away with the bonus point win last Friday in Donnybrook and while there are areas of our game we can improve on, the result has left us in a good place ahead of Friday’s fixture.
“England are always a stiff challenge at this level and it’s set to be a great opportunity for the players but one I know they are excited for.”
