Owen Farrell has been left out of England head coach Steve Borthwick's match day 23 to face Ireland at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin on Saturday.
Farrell was due to feature in the Rugby World Cup warm-up fixture but has now been removed by Borthwick due to World Rugby's appeal against the disciplinary decision that saw his red card from England's match against Wales overturned, putting his World Cup hopes in renewed doubt.
An unchanged back row sees captain Lawes continue with last weekend's player of the match Ben Earl and Billy Vunipola at No.8. Ben Youngs and Ford make up the half-back partnership, with Manu Tuilagi starting his first game of the Summer Nations Series in the centres with Joe Marchant.There is then a new set of wingers as Anthony Watson is named on the right wing with Elliot Daly on the left and Freddie Steward at full-back.
