Two changes to Ireland team to face Scotland
Garry Ringrose and Tadhg Furlong have returned from injury to start for Ireland against Scotland in Saturday's Six Nations clash, writes .
However, Iain Henderson misses out on a starting spot in Joe Schmidt's team, but is fit enough to take his place on the bench behind James Ryan and Devin Toner.
Ringrose replaces man-of-the-match against Wales Chris Farrell, Ireland's second outside centre to be ruled out of the tournament after Robbie Henshaw's shoulder injury.
Furlong's return to tighthead prop sees Andrew Porter return to the bench, with John Ryan losing his place among the replacements.
Quinn Roux, Jack Conan and Fergus McFadden also drop out of the matchday 23, replaced by Henderson, Jordi Murphy, who is in line to make his first Ireland appearance of the championship, and Jordan Larmour.
