Goode and Nowell to start for England against Ireland

England head coach Stuart Lancaster has named Alex Goode and Jack Nowell in his starting side to face in Dublin on Sunday.
Goode, who starred in the 12-6 triumph last time England were in Dublin, starts his for two years after replacing the concussed at full-back.
Meanwhile, Nowell is preferred to Jonny on the right wing as the only two unbeaten teams in the Six Nations go head-to-head.
In the only other change to the England match-day 23 that defeated Italy 47-17, Henry Thomas replaces Kieran Brookes on the bench.
The tighthead is continuing to recover from a hip flexor strain he picked up earlier this week.
“We’ve made minimal changes as we felt the squad have performed well in the first two games,” Lancaster said.
“Alex is in good form for Saracens and has been training well over the last few weeks, as has Jack, who is also playing well for Exeter.
“Both have been pushing hard for selection and I am sure will seize their chance against a high quality Ireland side.

England: Alex Goode; Anthony Watson, Jonathan Joseph, Luther Burrell, Jack Nowell; , Ben Youngs; , Dylan Hartley, ; Dave Attwood, George Kruis; James Haskell, Chris Robshaw (Capt.), .

Replacements: Tom Youngs, , Henry Thomas, Nick Easter, Tom Croft, Richard Wigglesworth, Danny Cipriani, Billy Twelvetrees.
