Max Williamson and Grant Gilchrist form a new-look second row, and Zander Fagerson is back in the starting XV, as Scotland chase the victory away to Ireland that could lead to a first Six Nations title.

Locks Gregor Brown and Scott Cummings, who started in the wins over England and France, are ruled out through injury.

Gilchrist will win his 88th cap, becoming Scotland’s all-time record appearance maker for a second row. Williamson is given a second chance after his early removal in the comeback victory in Wales.

Having come off the bench at the halfway stage against France, Zander Fagerson reclaims his place from D’Arcy Rae.

Winger Kyle Steyn, who has scored three tries in the tournament, is fit after going off with a gashed leg last weekend.

Scotland: Kinghorn, Graham, Jones, Tuipulotu (capt), Steyn, Russell, White; Schoeman, Turner, Z Fagerson, Williamson, Gilchrist, M Fagerson, Darge, Dempsey.

Replacements: Ashman, Sutherland, Rae, Craig, Bradbury, Horne, Rowe, Jordan.
