<\/p>\nHead Coach Andy Farrell has named the Ireland Match Day Squad, sponsored by Vodafone, for Saturday\u2019s Guinness Men\u2019s Six Nations finale against Scotland at a sold-out Aviva Stadium (Kick-off 2.10pm).<\/p>\n
Captain Caelan Doris leads Ireland into the Round 5 showdown.<\/p>\n
Jamie Osborne, Rob Baloucoune and Tommy O\u2019Brien start in Ireland\u2019s back three, with Stuart McCloskey and Garry Ringrose once again named in the midfield, while Jamison Gibson-Park and Jack Crowley link up in the half-backs.<\/p>\n
In the pack, Tom O\u2019Toole, Dan Sheehan and Tadhg Furlong are named in the front row, with Joe McCarthy and Tadhg Beirne in the engine room. Jack Conan is named to start at blindside flanker, Josh van der Flier at openside and captain Doris completes Ireland\u2019s starting team at number eight.<\/p>\n
Farrell has strong options on the bench as R\u00f3nan Kelleher, Michael Milne, Finlay Bealham, Darragh Murray \u2013 who is in line for his Six Nations debut \u2013 and Nick Timoney make up the forward replacements, with Craig Casey, Ciaran Frawley and Bundee Aki the backline reinforcements.<\/p>\n
James Ryan (calf) was not considered due to injury.<\/p>\n
Andy Farrell said: \u201cIt is an incredible privilege for the squad to play at home in front of a packed Aviva Stadium with a trophy up for grabs. We know about the challenge facing us on Saturday and Scotland will travel with confidence. You\u2019ll see two teams who like to attack and we\u2019ll look to implement our game plan to get the performance that we want. When you factor in a loud home support, and with the game taking place on St Patrick\u2019s weekend, it really has all the ingredients for a cracking contest.\u201d<\/p>\n
Saturday\u2019s match is live on Virgin Media One and ITV, with live radio commentary available on RT\u00c9 Radio 1.<\/p>\n
