There are no surprises in England's team to face Ireland in the Six Nations on Sunday - but head coach Stuart Lancaster has made two changes.

Saracens' Alex Goode starts at full-back in place of Mike Brown, who hasn't fully recovered from concussion.

Exeter wing Jack Nowell comes in for Jonny May - who was dropped from the squad earlier this week.
