DUBLIN (Reuters) - Ireland winger Luke Fitzgerald will start a test match for the first time since 2011 on Saturday when the Six Nations champions travel to Scotland looking for a big win to put the pressure on leaders England.

After Wales scuppered Ireland's Grand Slam hopes by ending their unbeaten run last week, Joe Schmidt's men narrowly fell behind England in the standings with a points difference of plus 33 compared to England's plus 37.
