Chandler Cunningham-South returns to No. 8, Greg Fisilau moves to openside with Finn Carnduff on the blindside. Charlie Bracken and Monty Bradbury continue their partnership in the halves.
Joseph Woodward also makes his return, reuniting with Rekeiti Ma'asi-White in the midfield, and Cassius Cleaves earns his first start of the year, following a successful return from injury. Tobias Elliott is on the other wing with Sam Harris at fullback.
Nathan Jibulu, Asher Opoku-Fordjour, Tim Hoyt, Robert Carmichael, Tristan Woodman, Nye Thomas, Joe Jenkins and Sam Worsley are the replacements.
"We were obviously disappointed with the result against France, but we’ve taken lessons from that loss against a very good side," said Dickens.
"This is a tight squad of players which has regrouped and is focused on facing Ireland. In camp this week the players’ attention has been on the core skills and values, including taking the opportunity to improve at any given chance, that saw us open our campaign so well.
"For Sunday’s fixture we’ve selected a team that we think can meet the challenge that Ireland brings – they carry hard, play well off a talented fly-half, and with a quality goal kicker, they can punish mistakes from anywhere on the pitch."
