Richie Murphy makes two changes to the team which fought back to earn a last-gasp draw against England last week.

SEAN EDOGBO RETURNS to the Ireland U20s back row for their sold-out Six Nations finale against Scotland.

Three-in-a-row chasing Ireland currently lie second in the table, trailing England by a point ahead of Friday night’s decisive final round of matches.

Head coach Richie Murphy makes two changes to the team which started last week’s thrilling 32-32 draw against England in Bath.

Ulster’s Henry Walker gets the nod ahead of Danny Sheahan at hooker, while Edogbo returns at blindside flanker, with Joe Hopes pushing into the second row and Alan Spicer missing out.

Kick-off at Virgin Media Park is at 7pm on Friday night, with coverage live on Virgin Media Two.
