Pollock has scored three tries for England
Henry Pollock has been handed his first Test start as Steve Borthwick makes three changes to his starting XV for England's must-win Six Nations match against Ireland on Saturday at Allianz Stadium.
Pollock, 21, is named at number eight alongside fellow British and Irish Lion Tom Curry, who has featured off the bench in the past six Tests, and Ben Earl in the back row.
Centre Ollie Lawrence returns after missing out on selection for Saturday's crushing defeat by Scotland at Murrayfield.
Tommy Freeman, who started the first two rounds at outside centre, shifts back to the right wing.
