SCOTLAND v IRELAND

Scotstoun 7.35

-

TEAM NEWS: Head coach Adam Griggs makes three personnel changes and one positional switch to the team that lost 51-7 at home to England. Portlaoise youngster Emma Hooban (left) steps up for her first Six Nations start at hooker, with Leah Lyons moving to tighthead, Cork’s Anna Caplice comes into the backrow and Alison Miller is picked on the wing for her first start since breaking her leg against Italy a year ago.

VERDICT: Ireland. WHY: Last week was a mismatch against full-time pros but Ireland have more than enough ability to see off the Scots, even away from home.

IRELAND: L Delaney; E Considine, S Naoupu, M Claffey, A Miller; N Fowley, A Hughes; L Feely, E Hooban, L Lyons; A McDermott, N Fryday; A Caplice, C Molloy, C Griffin (capt). Reps: D Nic a Bhaird, L Djougang, F Reidy, C Boles, C McLaughlin, K Dane, E Murphy, M Williams.

Referee: B Benvenuti (Italy). TV: LIVE on RTÉ2, from 7pm.
