DUBLIN (Reuters) - Rory Best has overcome an injury and will captain Ireland in the Six Nations clash with Scotland on Saturday when the return of flanker Tommy O'Donnell will be the only change from the team that thrashed Italy.

Hooker Best passed a fitness test on a calf strain and was named in the side by coach Joe Schmidt on Thursday for a remarkable 32nd consecutive Six Nations start.
