“Manu has impressed us at the training camp and is right to play.”
England, who finished fifth in last year’s Six Nations, have lost their last two games against the Irish and have not won in Dublin since 2013.
“I think it is quite clear to beat Ireland you have to beat them in the contest area,” Jones said. “They are very good at the breakdown and in the air. Both those areas are a priority for us.
“Traditionally, England and Ireland games are always very close, tough affairs. There is a lot of emotion in the games so our ability to finish the game strongly is going to be vital.”
The championship gets underway in Paris on Friday (Saturday AEDT) when France play Wales, who are in the same World Cup pool D as the Wallabies in Japan later this year.
