Scotland Team to Face Ireland – 2023 Six Nations

10 March 2023
Tom Sansom

Gregor Townsend has named his Scotland side to take on Ireland. Full Back Stuart Hogg is set to make a milestone 100th test match appearance, making him just the fourth ever Scotsman to make a century of caps.

Townsend has brought in Kyle Steyn to start, as Darcey Graham remains side-lined with a knee injury, and the Gray brothers a re-united in the second row. After Grant Gilchrist’s early dismissal, saw him sent off after just six minutes against France, Richie and Jonny Gray line up in the locks.

Here is the full selected side for Scotland, as they host Ireland at Murrayfield this Sunday.
