Youngs back at scrum-half for Ireland clash

England head coach Eddie Jones has named his starting 15 to face Ireland in the Six Nations on Sunday and it includes the fit-again Manu Tuilagi. 

The Leicester centre has recovered from a groin injury that kept him out of the win over Scotland, but Mako and Billy Vunipola are unavailable.

George Ford and Owen Farrell are to continue the 10-12 axis.

Tuilagi's Leicester team-mate Ben Youngs is recalled at scrum-half.
