Edinburgh: Blair Kinghorn will make his first start for Scotland on Saturday after being named in Gregor Townsend’s side for their Six Nations clash against Ireland in Dublin, the only change to the starting line-up.

The 21-year-old Edinburgh wing replaces the injured Tommy Seymour.

Kinghorn made his debut off the bench in the triumphant Calcutta Cup win over England on February 24 that saw Scotland claw their way back into Championship contention ahead of the trip to play Joe Schmidt’s unbeaten side.

“We were delighted with the result against England and backing up our win against France with an improved performance,” said Townsend, whose side are third in the table behind Ireland and England.
