Six Nations 2012: David Strettle returns in Stuart Lancaster's only change for England finale against Ireland If Mears comes on at Twickenham, England will have used just 27 players during their Six Nations campaign. Phil Dowson also makes the bench again despite being knocked out in the closing stages of England's victory over France. England full-back Ben Foden will line up against Ireland just four days after his fiance - the Irish singer Una Healy from The Saturdays - gave birth to their daughter Aoife Belle. Wales' superior points difference of plus 38 leaves them with a strong grip on the Six Nations title. For England to wrestle the title off them, Lancaster's men must put Ireland to the sword and hope France wreck Wales' Grand Slam party with a comprehensive victory at the Millennium Stadium. Although that is unlikely, Lancaster is proud of what his new-look England side have achieved during their campaign. "It seems like yesterday when we got together in Leeds in January and began a new journey for England rugby," Lancaster said. Graham Rowntree, Andy Farrell and myself firmly believe in this group of players and the direction we are going. Saturday is another step on that road and we are looking forward to coming home to a packed Twickenham with its special atmosphere and crowd. Their support has been phenomenal and we hope we can do the whole nation proud again. Wasps have confirmed that Webber will require surgery on the shoulder injury he sustained during his brief appearance off the bench, when he filled in at flanker for Dowson. England's starting fly-half Owen Farrell also took a blow to the shoulder in Paris but Lancaster reported the problem has settled down and he would train today.
