Hansen back as Irish chase Triple Crown

Mack Hansen has been restored to the wing by Ireland head coach Andy Farrell for Saturday’s Six Nations clash with Scotland where victory would keep alive Irish hopes of the title.

The Irish can secure the Triple Crown on Saturday with victory over a Scotland side that has been disappointing since opening with victory over England. However, Farrell’s side’s hopes of the title rest on England denying France the Grand Slam when they play later that day in Paris. Farrell has kept changes to a minimum from the side that eventually overcame an England team reduced to 14 men in the second minute. Iain Henderson starts in the second row as James Ryan is out having failed a head injury assessment.

Captain Johnny Sexton will become Ireland’s joint-sixth most capped player, equalling John Hayes’ 105-cap tally when he leads the side out. Sexton will be partnered at halfback by last Saturday’s Man of the Match, scrumhalf Jamison Gibson-Park.
