Cipriani part of the Saxons' Irish invasion

Danny Cipriani is one of six capped players in an England Saxons side which will feature an entire Harlequins back-row against Ireland 'A' in Dublin on Friday night.

The London Wasps No10, who agreed to try and rebuild his confidence with the second team, has a powerful back division to unleash against the Irish - including Quins' Jordan Turner-Hall, a star in the England Under-20 side. Turner-Hall will partner Wasps' Dominic Waldouck in midfield, with Topsy Ojo and Matt Banahan on the wings and Nick Abendanon at No15.

The all-Harlequins back row of Will Skinner, Tom Guest and Chris Robshaw get an opportunity to impress in a team captained by Wasps' George Skivington.

Quins winger David Strettle is set to be used off the bench, having returned to action after a broken metatarsal.
