Blair Kinghorn will make a first start for Scotland as he was chosen to replace the injured Tommy Seymour at wing in coach Gregor Townsend's only change to his side to take on Ireland in the Six Nations Championship.
Seymour has not recovered from a back injury suffered in Scotland's Calcutta Cup success over England in Edinburgh two weeks ago, when they won 25-13.
The in-form 21-year-old Edinburgh wing Kinghorn, who has scored eight tries for his club side this term - made his debut off the bench in that match two weeks ago.
It was no surprise that Townsend stuck with a winning combination after Scotland scored a second successive win in this year's competition and are now looking to derail Ireland's hopes of a Grand Slam when they play in Dublin on Saturday.
"We were delighted with the result against England and backing up our win against France with an improved performance," said Townsend.
"The intent we showed in attack and defence in the first half was very encouraging and we continued to work hard in the second-half. The effort that went into denying England a second try in the closing minutes was great to see.
"There are a few areas of our game that we are working to improve and we are aware that we will have to be better if we are to beat a very good Ireland side in Dublin."
