All three Tigers involved for ENG V IRE

Ben Youngs starts for England with places on the Finishers bench for Ellis Genge and a returning George Ford as England prepare to face Ireland this weekend in the Quilter International match.

Youngs keeps his starting spot off the back of England's 40-0 win over Georgia in the first game of the Autumn Nations Cup internationals.

England's backline is unchanged from the 40-0 victory against Georgia last weekend, while props Mako Vunipola and Kyle Sinckler are also back in the starting XV.

Ireland, who beat Wales 32-9 last week, have made four changes for their trip to Twickenham.
