Eddie Jones has been boosted before England’s crucial Six Nations match against Ireland with Kyle Sinckler passed fit to start and Alex Dombrandt deemed ready for a place on the bench. Tom Curry has also been named in the side after completing the head injury return-to-play protocols with Jones making three changes in total to the side that overcame Wales.
Sinckler has been hampered by a back injury this week but came through individual training on Wednesday and proved his fitness in Thursday morning’s session. Dombrandt returned to training only on Thursday after testing positive for Covid-19 last week but is named on the bench with Sam Simmonds, as expected, lining up at No 8. The other two changes see Jamie George replace the injured Luke Cowan-Dickie at hooker and Joe Marchant preferred to Elliot Daly.
