Six Nations: Both teams up for Scotland v Ireland.

by

, ,

There are two new caps in the Ireland team to play Scotland in the RBS 6 Nations Championship at Murrayfield on Sunday afternoon (kick-off 2pm).

Paddy Jackson, who captained the Ireland Under-20s in last season’s Championship, and Luke Marshall, who starred in November’s non-cap international against Fiji, will make their full international debuts at out-half and centre respectively.

The Ireland team contains a strong mix of youth and experience and shows several changes to the side which started the recent 12-6 defeat to England.

Keith Earls will take over on the left wing from the injured Simon Zebo, joining full-back Rob Kearney and Craig Gilroy in an exciting back-three.

With Jonathan Sexton and Gordon D’Arcy also ruled out through injury, Ulster youngsters Jackson and Marshall (both 21) will make the step up at half-back and in midfield.
