The Red Roses get the 2019 Six Nations campaign underway on Friday, February 1st at Energia Park, Donnybrook, KO 5pm, live on Sky Sports Mix
Bern who was a member of the 2017 World Cup final squad will make her first international appearance since the 2018 Six Nations.
Middleton said: “We are looking forward to getting our Six Nations campaign underway and implementing some of the things we have been working on since the Quilter Internationals.
“It is great to have a number of players back in the squad from the 2017 Women’s Rugby World Cup, as well those newer names who have impressed through the season so far.
“We know that conditions are likely to be testing in Dublin on Friday but we are looking forward to returning to Donnybrook, a ground we know well, having lifted the Six Nations Grand Slam there in 2017. Whatever the conditions, we will be focussed on the task in hand.”
England and Ireland last came together at Twickenham Stadium in the 2018 Quilter Internationals, with the Red Roses winning 37-15.
