Scotland change three in the pack for do-or-die trip to Ireland
- Making three changes, Gregor Townsend selected Max Williamson and Grant Gilchrist in the second row and returned Zander Fagerson to the tighthead berth alongside Pierre Schoeman and George Turner.
- Because Scott Cummings and Gregor Brown were ruled out, Townsend replaced his regular locks after last week's 50-40 win over France, with a title and Triple Crown at stake.
- The starting XV shows Scotland's backline unchanged with Finn Russell and Ben White at halfback and Sione Tuipulotu at inside centre, while Grant Gilchrist will earn his 88th cap and the bench includes first Six Nations call-ups for Alex Craig, Magnus Bradbury and Kyle Rowe.
- With the table finely balanced, France and Scotland are joint leaders on 16 points with Ireland on 14, making Saturday's results decisive for the championship.
- Facing a long losing run, Scotland have lost their last 11 tests to Ireland and have not won in Dublin since 2010, while Ireland will name their side at 2pm ahead of a 2.10pm kick-off at the Aviva Stadium.
