Team News: David Strettle to start against Ireland

England interim coach Stuart Lancaster has confirmed that Saracens winger David Strettle will start against Ireland in this weekend's Six Nations clash.

The 28-year-old was forced to sit out of England's 24-22 win over France last weekend with a chest injury.

Gloucester's Charlie Sharples was called up to replace the winger, but Lancaster has decided to put Strettle back into the side.

The temporary coach, who is being considered for the permanent role, has refrained from making any other changes to the starting elite to face Ireland at Twickenham on Saturday.
