Jornal Do Brasilia - England's Farrell and Tuilagi return as Arundell starts in Ireland Six Nations finale

Farrell was on the bench for last week's humiliating 53-10 loss to title contenders France at Twickenham -- England's heaviest home defeat.

But he returns in place of Harlequins playmaker Marcus Smith to face an Ireland team coached by his father, Andy Farrell.

Tuilagi takes over from Ollie Lawrence after his fellow centre was ruled out with hamstring trouble.

The 31-year-old Tuilagi will be making his first appearance of this Six Nations having initially been discarded at the start of new England coach Steve Borthwick's reign before being ruled out by three-match ban for dangerous play with club side Sale.

He will form a midfield trio alongside Farrell and Henry Slade that was last seen during a 2019 World Cup in Japan where England made it all the way to the final before losing to South Africa.

Elsewhere in the back division, Borthwick has given a first Test start to rising star Henry Arundell, with the 20-year-old replacing Max Malins on the left wing.

All six caps won so far by the London Irish flyer have come off the bench, with Arundell making brief appearances in the last three rounds of the Six Nations after missing last year's Autumn campaign with a foot injury.

Borthwick, himself a former England captain and lock, has made one enforced change to a pack overwhelmed by France, with David Ribbans replacing Ollie Chessum after the second row sustained an ankle injury in training on Tuesday.
