Out of form Russell dropped for Ireland Clash

fly half Finn Russell has been dropped to the bench with Blair Kinghorn taking over the 10 jersey for their game against on Saturday.

The out of favour British and Irish Lion has struggled for form in this campaign and was criticised for making a lacklustre chase and failing to attempt any sort of tackle during ‘s opening try in their 36-17 defeat.

Head coach has made one other change from the team that started last weekend’s 33-23 win over Italy in Rome.

The other alteration sees second-row Jonny Gray replace colleague Sam Skinner, who is among the replacements.

Scotland are looking for their third win in what has been a of mixed fortunes, with victories over and Italy offset by defeats from and France.
