Clive Woodward has kept faith with the team that walloped Scotland at the weekend to do the job against the Irish in the Grand Slam decider. This means that the four Tigers who started that game remain but also Dorian West has been called up to the bench because he has "been outstanding for the England A team this season" according to the Big Cheese himself - Woody.

15 Josh Lewsey (London Wasps)
