Pollock has been promoted to No.8 for Saturday’s Guinness Six Nations clash with Ireland at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham.

Henry Pollock gets his first England start. Ollie Lawrence returns. Tommy Freeman is back on the wing. Tom Curry starts. There is plenty for Chris and Ugo to unpick from the England team to face Ireland on Saturday.

Ben Earl and Henry Pollock versatility gives England more variety – George Ford - Earl started Saturday’s rout of Wales at number eight but finished it at inside centre, while flanker Pollock is seen as an option for the wing.

Henry Pollock was 13 years old when Scotland launched an era of Calcutta Cup dominance unprecedented in the history of rugby's oldest fixture.
