(Reuters) - Ireland coach Andy Farrell will field a strong line-up for Sunday's Six Nations trip to Scotland as several players return from injury, with captain Johnny Sexton, tighthead prop Tadhg Furlong and centre Garry Ringrose fit again.

Sexton, who suffered a leg injury in the 32-19 win over France last month, missed the Six Nations leaders' victory over Italy.
