Arguably two of the strongest lineups ever for a second XV international.
With home advantage, and the fact that England are stepping up several players to cover 1stXV injuries, I fancy the Irish for this one
Ireland Wolfhounds: Felix Jones (Munster); Fergus McFadden (Leinster), Keith Earls (Munster), Gordon D'Arcy (Leinster), Luke Fitzgerald (Leinster); Ian Madigan (Leinster), Kieran Marmion (Connacht); Jack McGrath (Leinster), Richardt Strauss (Leinster), Mike Ross (Leinster); Iain Henderson (Ulster), Mike McCarthy (Leinster); Dominic Ryan (Leinster), Sean O'Brien (Leinster), Jack Conan (Leinster).
Replacements: Rob Herring (Ulster), Michael Bent (Leinster), Nathan White (Connacht), Robbie Diack (Ulster), Eoin McKeon (Connacht), Isaac Boss (Leinster), Noel Reid (Leinster), Craig Gilroy (Ulster).
England Saxons: Chris Pennell (Worcester); Chris Ashton (Saracens), Elliot Daly (Wasps), Sam Burgess (Bath), Marland Yarde (Harlequins); Slade (Exeter); Lee Dickson (Northampton) capt; Matt Mullan (Wasps), Rob Webber (Bath), Henry Thomas (Bath); Matt Garvey (Bath), James Gaskell (Wasps), Dave Ewers (Exeter), Matt Kvesic (Gloucester), Thomas Waldrom (Exeter).
Replacements: Luke Cowan Dickie (Exeter), Alex Waller (Northampton), Jake Cooper-Woolley (Wasps), Maro Itoje (Saracens), Carl Fearns (Bath), Joe Simpson (Wasps), Ollie Devoto (Bath), Christian Wade (Wasps).
