Ireland have included Eoin Reddan in their side to face England in the Six Nations on Sunday, despite the scrum-half suffering concussion in the defeat to Wales last Saturday.

Reddan had been a major doubt for the final Six Nations match of the season in Dublin, with Peter Stringer set to replace him, having come on for him at the Millennium Stadium.

Ronan O'Gara will also once again start on the bench.

Ireland have had an indifferent Six Nations campaign so far, winning two and losing two, but will be keen to stop England sealing the grand slam in Dublin.
