Six Nations 2016: Elliot Daly in contention to make England debut against Ireland after being named in 23-man squad
Elliot Daly is in line to make his England debut against Ireland on Saturday 27 February . The Wasps centre was named in Eddie Jones' 23-man squad after Ollie Devoto was ruled out of the third round of the Championship with a concussion.
23-year-old Daly replaces lock Courtney Lawes, who is dropped from the 23 after failing to impress in the victory over Italy. Maro Itoje retains his place in the squad after making his first international appearance at the Stadio Olympico.
"I have been pleased with the hard work and attitude the squad have shown since Italy," Jones said. "Everyone wants to be on the field on Saturday so there were some tough selection calls. Elliot Daly has impressed in training and is now ready to be part of the 23."
England host the Irish in their first home game of the Championship following wins away to Scotland and Italy.
England squad selected for Ireland:
Forwards: Dan Cole, Jack Clifford, Jamie George, Dylan Hartley, James Haskell, Paul Hill, George Kruis, Joe Launchbury, Joe Marler, Chris Robshaw, Billy Vunipola, Mako Vunipola
Backs: Mike Brown, Danny Care, Elliot Daly, Owen Farrell, George Ford, Alex Goode, Jonathan Joseph, Jack Nowell, Anthony Watson, Ben Youngs
