An unchanged Scotland starting lineup will try to prevent Ireland from earning the Triple Crown in Six Nations rugby this weekend.

That meant flanker Kelly Brown, who had to be replaced after clashing heads with England winger Ugo Monye last Saturday, has been passed fit.

Coach Andy Robinson said on Wednesday he was hoping his side would repeat and improve on the good things it did in the 15-15 draw with England.

He made changes only in the reserves, where prop Alasdair Dickinson and scrumhalf Mike Blair have recovered from concussions to replace Geoff Cross and Rory Lawson, and lock Richie Gray was in for Nathan Hines, who has a knee injury.

Scotland is last in the standings with 1 point. Ireland, the only contender for the title if unbeaten France loses to England, will play its last match at Croke Park.
