Ireland Head Coach Andy Farrell has made six changes for Saturday's final Autumn Nations Cup game against Scotland at the Aviva Stadium. 

The uncapped Ulster prop Eric O’Sullivan, who was called up to the squad in recent weeks, is set to make his debut after being named amongst the replacements.

Johnny Sexton returns to captain the side and is re-united with Conor Murray at half-back.
