O'Gara On The Bench? Kidney Responds
The biggest reaction on Leeside from Declan Kidney's team announcement for Sunday's Six Nations match with Scotland is Ronan O'Gara's omission from the starting XV in favour of Ulster's Paddy Jackson. The Munster outhalf was expected to take over at 10 following Jonny Sexton's injury against England, but Kidney has opted for youth with Jackson, while his Ulster teammate Luke Marshall is outside him at 12.

T Court, R Best, M Ross; D O’Callaghan, D Ryan; P O’Mahony, S O’Brien, J Heaslip (capt.) Replacements: S Cronin, D Kilcoyne, D Fitzpatrick, D Toner, I Henderson; E Reddan, R O’Gara, L Fitzgerald.
