Maynooth, Ireland – Ireland coach Declan Kidney announced an unchanged side Friday to play England in Sunday's Six Nations international at Dublin's Lansdowne Road.
Flanker Peter O'Mahony, who suffered a head knock, and backs Gordon D'Arcy (dead leg) and Keith Earls (shoulder) were all passed fit after suffering injuries during Ireland's tournament-opening 30-22 win over Grand Slam champions Wales in Cardiff last weekend.
Sunday's match is already being billed as a potential title-decider after England defeated Scotland 38-18 at Twickenham in the first round..
Earlier on Friday, England coach Stuart Lancaster made one change to his starting line-up, with James Haskell coming into a revamped back-row after No 8 Ben Morgan was ruled out with an ankle injury.
