Ireland Team unchanged to face Scotland

Ireland Coach Eddie O’Sullivan has stuck with a winning formula and named the starting XV that beat England on their last outing in the RBS 6 Nations Championship for the trip to Murrayfield to play Scotland.
 
 
The only change to the match 22 is the inclusion of Eoin Reddan, who is named as the replacement scrumhalf following the unavailability of Isaac Boss due to a shoulder injury.
 
 
The team will be captained by Brian O’Driscoll for the 36th time and will therefore equal the record for captaining Ireland at international level, which is held by Keith Wood.
