Scotland team to face Ireland

Duncan Weir starts for Scotland
Duncan Weir and Tim Swinson will start in Scotland's final game of this season's Six Nations against Ireland in Dublin on Saturday (ko 4.30pm).

The Glasgow duo replace their injured teammates Finn Russell and Jonny Gray who are both ruled out.

Finn has been ruled out of the fixture with concussion, despite his continued progression through the graduated return-to-play protocol.

Jonny is ruled out due to a pectoral tear he picked up in last weekend's win over France.

Eleven Warriors are in the matchday squad with Robert Harley and Henry Pyrgos called up to the bench.
