Ireland go into the Scottish match with three changes from the side that did for the Azzurri last weekend.
Stephen Kerins has recovered from injury and is drafted back in as scrum-half. James Bollard starts at loosehead and Munster lock Sean O'Connor is given a chance alongside Ryan.
Conor O'Brien and Shane Daly continue their burgeoning midfield partnership while blindside Cillian Gallagher is asked to partner Will Connors and Greg Jones of Leinster. Jacob Stockdale is released from Ulster again to start on the left wing.
"Unforced errors and an unusually high penalty count meant that we made hard work of the win against a gritty Italy side last Friday night. However, we came away with the result and that's the important thing. "Scotland are a strong side with a lot of quality players in their team. It will be a tough game on Friday but I'm confident that we can put in a big performance and finish on a winning note."
