Head coach Andy Robinson has named an unchanged starting XV for Saturday’s final RBS 6 Nations Championship match against Ireland in Dublin. The selection means that Glasgow Warriors flanker Kelly Brown, who had to retire in the second-half of the Calcutta Cup clash with a head knock, is satisfying the return-to-play medical protocols and is fit to take his place in the back-row. “I have spoken about the need for us to be consistent and put together back-to-back performances. “We did some good things against England last weekend but we have to look for improvements against a well-balanced Ireland team who will be looking to bow out on a high from the final match at Croke Park,” Robinson said. On the bench Scotland show three changes. Scrum-half Mike Blair and prop Alasdair Dickinson have both recovered from concussion which ruled them out of the England game and they are preferred to Rory Lawson and Geoff Cross respectively. Elsewhere on the bench lock Nathan Hines has been ruled out through a knee injury thus Glasgow’s 20-year-old lock Richie Gray returns to the 22.
