Johnny Sexton returns as Farrell names team for England clash

Johnny Sexton is back in the Ireland team for Saturday's Six Nations clash with England. 

The out half returns - as expected - having come on as a replacement in the win over Italy a fortnight ago.

Sexton missed the loss to France due to a hamstring strain.

Elsewhere, Peter O'Mahony has been given the nod in the back row again, with Jack Conan amongst the replacements.

James Lowe and Andrew Conway occupy the wing slots, with Mack Hansen missing out on the matchday 23.

Cian Healy slots into the front row where Andrew Porter is an absentee due to injury.

Ireland Head coach Andy Farrell is due to speak to the media later this morning ahead of the game at Twickenham.
