BEN Te’o will start at inside centre when England face champions Ireland in the final game of the Six Nations at Twickenham on Saturday (2.45pm).

The Worcester Warriors star will win his 13th cap for England as they battle for a second place finish and try to prevent Ireland from claiming the Grand Slam.

Captain Dylan Hartley returns after recovering from injury, with tighthead prop Kyle Sinckler making his first start of the campaign.

Saracens duo George Kruis and Maro Itoje start in the second row, while James Haskell will start at openside flanker with Chris Robshaw moving to the blindside.

Richard Wigglesworth and Owen Farrell will start as the half-back pairing. Jonathan Joseph has been recalled at outside centre.

Don Armand is named as a replacement in what is otherwise an experienced bench for England.

England head coach Eddie Jones said: “We can’t wait to get back to Twickenham and play there.

“We have had a couple of tough games on the road and to get back and play in front of our 24th man will be exciting for the players.

“They will be looking forward to putting in a good performance.

“Ireland are a very good team.”
