Joe Schmidt turns to Leinster lads as Simon Zebo dropped from squad

Two changes in the Irish team to face Scotland.

Joe Schmidt has recalled Cian Healy to the front row and will give Luke Fitzgerald his first Irish cap in 18 months. As was widely reported this morning, Healy and Fitzgerald's inclusions are the sole changes in the Ireland team that lost to Wales in Cardiff. Ireland need to beat Scotland first but racking up a high score would definitely help. Paul O'Connell will captain Ireland in his 101st Test cap for his country. The second and back rows remain the same with Fitzgerald - in for the dropped Simon Zebo - the only backline change. Replacements: Sean Cronin, Jack McGrath, Marty Moore, Iain Henderson, Jordi Murphy, Eoin Reddan, Ian Madigan, Felix Jones.
