Ireland name unchanged side for Scotland clash

Ireland head coach Andy Farrell has named an unchanged side for the upcoming final round of the Six Nations game against Scotland to be played in Dublin.

The decision follows despite Ireland's recent defeat against England with a one point margin at Twickenham Stadium last weekend.

Ireland have three wins in four matches in the tournament and a losing bonus point against Scotland will be enough for them to retain the Six Nations title.

Calvin Nash has recovered from a head injury to be positioned at right wing with James Lowe at left while Hugo Keenan continues to remain at fullback.

Robbie Henshaw and Bundee Aki retain their midfield partnership with Jack Crowley and Jamison Gibson-Park start at fly-half and scrum-half respectively.

The only changes for Ireland comes on the bench with Farrell opting Garry Ringrose for the first time in the tournament while Harry Byrne makes a return. Iain Henderson and Ciaran Frawley are dropped out of the matchday squad.

Ireland XV: 15 Hugo Keenan, 14 Calvin Nash, 13 Robbie Henshaw, 12 Bundee Aki, 11 James Lowe, 10 Jack Crowley, 9 Jamison Gibson-Park, 8 Caelan Doris, 7 Josh van der Flier, 6 Peter O’Mahony (c), 5 Tadhg Beirne, 4 Joe McCarthy, 3 Tadhg Furlong, 2 Dan Sheehan, 1 Andrew Porter

Reserves: 16 Rónan Kelleher, 17 Cian Healy, 18 Finlay Bealham, 19 Ryan Baird, 20 Jack Conan, 21 Conor Murray, 22 Harry Byrne, 23 Garry Ringrose
