Head Coach Gregor Townsend has made one change to the starting Scotland team for this Saturday’s NatWest 6 Nations Test against an unbeaten Ireland side at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin (10 March, kick-off 2.15pm) – live on ITV / STV.
In-form Edinburgh Rugby back Blair Kinghorn will earn his first start for the national team on the wing in place of Seymour, with Glasgow Warriors wing Lee Jones taking his vacated place on the bench. Townsend has made one further change to the replacements bench, with Glasgow Warriors hooker Fraser Brown – who featured in all but two Scotland Tests last year – returning from injury to replace Scott Lawson.
After back-to-back wins over France and England at BT Murrayfield, the starting side have earned the opportunity to take their home form on the road and target a first away win in the championship since beating Italy in Rome in 2016, and Ireland in Dublin since 2010.
