LONDON (Reuters) - Exeter wing Jack Nowell will make his first England appearance for a year after being named on Friday to replace Jonny May in the team to face Ireland in what is shaping up to be a potential Six Nations decider in Dublin on Sunday.

The slippery 21-year-old played in every match of last season's tournament, making his international debut in the opener against France, but has not been involved since after suffering bad knee and shoulder injuries.
