Back Elliott Daly, who suffered a head injury in the crushing victory over Scotland last weekend, continues his graduated return-to-play protocol.

Daly was replaced by Anthony Watson against the Scots but Jones is still hopeful the Wasps winger could be fit.

England travel to Dublin with the title secure and seeking a 19th successive victory, a Tier One record that would take them beyond the 18 set by New Zealand from 2015-16.
