Henderson returns for Ireland
The change comes at second row, where Iain Henderson is preferred to Devin Toner, who drops to the bench.
Last week's man of the match Rob Kearney retains his place in the starting XV, with Leinster prospect Jordan Larmour on the bench.
Ireland sewed up the Six nations title last weekend, but could win a third ever Grand Slam with a win over England on St Patrick's Day.
"There's a sense of anticipation, there's a sense of nervousness," said Schmidt.
"The magnitude of what it's going to take to get us over the line is very much uppermost in the thinking.
"It was a bit of a plan over last few days to mix things up in the second row.
"Iain has got a little bit of time under his belt after having a couple of weeks off, so we think he has progressed a little bit further and is more ready to go."
