England make six changes to the team from the last outing against Wales, and include Tigers forwards Dan Cole, Louis Deacon and Tom Croft plus centre Manu Tuilagi in the starting line-up, with Toby Flood among the replacements.
Mike Tindall leads the side and wins his 72nd cap, drawing level with Will Carling as England's most-capped centre.
Team manager Martin Johnson said: “We expect a hugely competitive game in Dublin and it gives us the ideal run out before we depart for the World Cup.”
