Ireland recall Mack Hansen for potential Six Nations title decider against Scotland

Andy Farrell has recalled Connacht winger Mack Hansen to his starting XV as one of three changes ahead of Ireland 's Six Nations curtain call against Scotland on Saturday.

The second-placed side play their final match of this year's tournament at the Aviva Stadium and must win to have any chance of beating leaders France to the title. Fabien Galthie's side are chasing a Grand Slam and will complete a perfect tournament if they beat England in Paris, but victory in Dublin would at least temporarily move Ireland to the summit.

Hansen, 23, was named Player of the Match when he made his international debut in the Round 1 win over Wales. The Australia native—who qualifies to play for Ireland through his Cork-born mother—has since started in the second-week defeat to France and the third-round throttling of Italy.
