Ireland named an unchanged side for the Six Nations crunch encounter against England at Twickenham on Saturday.
Paul O'Connell will lead the side as Ireland seek their first win in Twickenham since 2010.
Chris Henry, a try scorer against Wales, retains the No.7 jersey and is joined in the back row by Peter O'Mahony and Jamie Heaslip.
