Schmidt Names Unchanged Team For England Test

Paul O' Connell will captain the same starting XV that beat Wales last time out for the Triple Crown decider at Twickenham.

Ulster's Chris Henry, who scored the first try against the Welsh, retains the No. 7 jersey .

He's joined in the back row by Peter O' Mahony and Jamie Heaslip.

Jonathan Sexton & Conor Murray keep their places as the half-back pairing, with the Brian O' Driscoll & Gordon D'Arcy once again the centre partnership.

O' Driscoll will equal Australia's George Gregan as the most capped Test player of all time.

There are two changes on the bench, with Iain Henderson replacing the injured Dan Tuohy, and the uncapped Jordi Murphy coming in as back-row cover.

Meanwhile, England have made one change to their starting line-up.

Bath prop David Wilson comes into the team for the injured Dan Cole.

Fly-half George Ford is likely to make his debut, as he's on the bench instead of Brad Barritt.
