LONDON (Reuters) - Coach Vern Cotter has kept faith with his backs but made two changes in the pack as Scotland seek to avoid a clean sweep of defeats when they host Ireland in their final Six Nations game on Saturday.

Blindside flanker Adam Ashe comes in for Robert Harley while prop Ryan Grant replaces Alasdair Dickinson in a front row where Euan Murray will win a Scottish prop record 66th appearance.
