Ireland have been forced into a late change ahead of Sunday's Guinness Six Nations match against England at Twickenham.

Devin Toner comes into the second-row to replace Iain Henderson - who has been ruled out for family reasons.

Veteran Leinster lock Toner came off the bench in the recent victories against Scotland and Wales and will win his 70th cap on Sunday.

Connacht's Ultan Dillane is now among the replacements with the rest of the matchday 23 unchanged from the one named by Andy Farrell earlier this week.

England head-coach Eddie Jones, meanwhile, has made four changes to his starting line-up for Sunday's Guinness Six Nations clash with Ireland.

Centre Manu Tuilagi returns after injury for the match at Twickenham, with Ben Youngs replacing Willi Heinz at scrum-half.
