  • Ireland scrum-half Conor Murray was Tuesday selected ahead of John Cooney for the Six Nations opener against Scotland, while Caelan Doris will make his international debut. The choice between the experience of Murray and the outstanding form of Cooney was the biggest call facing new head coach Andy Farrell, who named his side on Tuesday -- well ahead of this weekend's clash in Dublin. Farrell has opted to show faith in 78-cap Munster player Murray, with the 29-year-old Cooney among the replacements, despite a series of fine displays for Ulster. Uncapped Doris, a former Ireland Under-20s captain, has been rewarded with a start at No 8. His Leinster team-mate Ronan Kelleher, who has not played since fracturing a hand on December 7, is named among the replacements, with Rob Herring starting at hooker in place of retired former captain Rory Best. New skipper Johnny Sexton will lead Ireland at Lansdowne Road on Saturday, starting at fly-half after overcoming a knee problem suffered in December. Elsewhere behind the scrum, Jordan Larmour is included at fullback after recovering from a foot injury suffered during Leinster's European Champions Cup victory over Benetton. This will be Ireland's first Test match since former assistant coach Farrell was promoted from within the set-up after Joe Schmidt's time in charge ended with the crushing disappointment of a World Cup quarter-final thrashing by his native New Zealand. That defeat for the 2018 Grand Slam winners came soon after a shock pool-stage loss to tournament hosts Japan. Scotland are due to announce their team on Thursday. Ireland side to face Scotland (15-1) Jordan Larmour, Andrew Conway, Garry Ringrose, Bundee Aki, Jacob Stockdale; Johnny Sexton (capt), Conor Murray; Caelan Doris, Josh van der Flier, CJ Stander; James Ryan, Iain Henderson; Tadhg Furlong, Rob Herring, Cian Healy Replacements: Ronan Kelleher, Dave Kilcoyne, Andrew Porter, Devin Toner, Peter O'Mahony, John Cooney, Ross Byrne, Robbie Henshaw jw-jdg
