JOE SCHMIDT HAS named a 33-man squad for Ireland’s Six Nations match against England on Saturday.
After wins over Scotland and Wales, Ireland travel to Twickenham this weekend with the Triple Crown in their sights.
Munster’s Simon Zebo has not made the extended panel despite returning from injury and scoring two tries in the RaboDirect Pro12 win over Zebre on Saturday.
Fit-again Donnacha Ryan is included in place of Ulster’s Dan Tuohy, who suffered a broken arm in the win over Wales.
Eoin Reddan and Isaac Boss also earn recalls but the game comes too early for Luke Fitzgerald and Tommy Bowe while Craig Gilroy also misses out.
