Head Coach, Nigel Carolan has named an unchanged team to the one that overcame France in their last outing of the championship a fortnight ago.
That means Ulster duo Jack Owens (Queen's University) and Sam Arnold (Ballynahinch) line out in the backline, with Zack McCall, Alex Thompson and Lorcan Dow (all Queen's) starting in the pack. Ballymena pair Adam McBurney and Michael Lagan are among the replacements.
Carolan said, "We are in a good place mid tournament with two wins from two. While the display against France was very pleasing, the English side will bring a huge amount of physicality with them, so we know the challenge we face.”
"If we can match them in the physical department, we hope to reproduce a similiar performance like we did two weeks ago. The squad have worked very hard in training and are relishing the opportunity to play on a fast pitch at Donnybrook in front of a vocal home crowd.”
Tickets for this game are available from www.Ticketmaster.ie or at the gate on the evening. Prices start at €15.00 for adults and €5.00 for children.
