Sam Prendergast dropped by Ireland after Italy nightmare
- On Saturday, Ireland head coach Andy Farrell made five changes to the side for the England match at Twickenham, naming Jack Crowley at fly-half and omitting Sam Prendergast.
- Following last Saturday's 20-13 win over Italy, Farrell rewarded both halfbacks for their impact, while Tadhg Furlong and Tadhg Beirne earned starting roles after strong bench contributions.
- Farrell chose a five-three bench split, recalling Finlay Bealham, Ciarán Frawley and Tommy O'Brien, while Josh van der Flier returns at openside after missing last week.
- Crowley will start his first game of this year's Six Nations, with Jeremy Loughman and Dan Sheehan retained up front and Joe McCarthy alongside James Ryan in the second row.
- Looking ahead to Saturday, Farrell said games between the sides have been nip and tuck with great respect, while thousands of travelling Irish supporters will back the team at Twickenham.
