Eddie O’Sullivan has decided to bring in Munster flanker David Wallace into his side to play Scotland in the Triple Crown decider on Saturday.



Wallace has been highly regarded amongst many fans and commentators for quite a while and there was widespread shock last Autumn when Eddie O’Sullivan left Wallace out of his World Cup side.



Paul O’Connell has been named in the side having recovered from the rib injury that kept him sidelined last weekend meaning that Donnacha O’Callagahn drops back to the bench.

Ireland (V Scotland): G Dempsey (Leinster); S Horgan (Leinster), G D’Arcy (Leinster), B O’Driscoll (Leinster, capt), G Murphy (Leicester); R O’Gara (Munster), P Stringer (Munster), R Corrigan (Leinster), J Hayes (Munster), S Byrne (Leinster), P O’Connell (Munster), M O’Kelly (Leinster), S Easterby (Llanelli), D Wallace (Munster), A Foley (Munster).

Replacements: F Sheahan (Munster), Marcus Horan (Munster), D O’Callaghan (Munster), V Costello (Leinster), G Easterby (Rotherham), D Humphreys (Ulster), K Maggs (Bath).
