SCOTLAND U20 Head Coach Kenny Murray has named his side to face Ireland in their final match of the Under-20 Six Nations at Musgrave Park, Cork on Sunday 20 March (kick-off 5pm) – live on the BBC Red Button and BBC iPlayer.

Murray has made only one change to the starting team who were defeated by Italy last weekend in Treviso.

Edinburgh Rugby’s Patrick Harrison who played for the Southern Knights last season returns to the starting team at hooker and will pack down with loosehead prop Mikey Jones and tighthead prop Gregor Scougall who both start their fourth game in a row.

Josh Taylor and Max Williamson have started every game of this campaign together in the boiler house and will start Sunday’s game together too.

The back row also remains unchanged from last week with Matthew Deehan at blindside flanker, Tim Brown at openside flanker with Hawick man Rhys Tait captaining the side from Number 8.

The familiar pairing of Murray Redpath and Christian Townsend make up the half-back partnership at scrum-half and stand-off.

For the fourth consecutive game Andy Stirrat and Duncan Munn will start at inside and outside centre.

Both wingers Ben Evans and Ross McKnight retain their starting positions in the team with Montpellier’s Robin McClintock starting at full-back to complete the starting line up.

On the bench, Duncan Hood, and Ali Rogers retain their places in the match-day squad with Corrie Bowker coming in to replace the injured prop Callum Norrie.

Innes Hill made an impact from the bench last time out, he’s joined by Robert Gordon as the other forward replacements.

Jonty Cope is the replacement scrum-half, with Thomas Glendenning and Southern Knight  Keiran Clark able to provide further energy to the back line should they be called upon.

Head Coach Kenny Murray said: “Ireland are undefeated so far in this campaign, they’re going for the Grand Slam so we know they will be a challenge for us.

“We’ve made only one change to the starting team who travelled to Italy, although the final score didn’t reflect it, there were some positives to take from our performance against them.

“It’s been a long campaign for our players who have worked hard throughout. If we convert our chances into points we can end the tournament on a high.”
