Joe Schmidt has named the Ireland team that will take on Scotland in Dublin this weekend, as they look to finish the Six Nations strongly with a second win.
There is one change to the side that romped to victory over Italy, with Tommy O’Donnell returning to the openside in place of Josh van der Flier, who has a few ‘bumps and bruises’ according to Schmidt.

As you know by now, we are hilarious, and you should be following us on Facebook and Twitter.
Wouldn´t say it to his face (I´d have to stand on a box), but Devin Toner definitely has man-boobs.)
Would like to see Dillane get a start soon, he looks really promising.
