The Six Nations title is on the line on Saturday and there will be a tactical tweak to the green machine
Andy Farrell has kept faith with last week's starting line-up and selected a 5/3 bench split for Ireland's final Six Nations game against Scotland at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday .
Skipper Peter O'Mahony may have come under pressure from Ryan Baird for the No.6 jersey but the veteran Munster star holds onto his starting place after struggling against the Red Rose and picking up a second yellow card of this championship.
Farrell's three backs on the bench are Conor Murray, who is retained from last week, Garry Ringrose - included after a shoulder injury for the first time in this championship - and Harry Byrne, who provides out-half cover for Jack Crowley for the second time in the campaign after he got 25 minutes against Italy.
