Winger Ali Miller returns to an Ireland team in need of a win to maintain confidence levels away to Scotland at Scotstoun in Glasgow on Friday night (7.35pm). Since taking over last season Ireland coach Adam Griggs has delivered just two victories in eight Test matches. “We want to be a team that’s hard to beat,” said Griggs following the 51-7 defeat to England at Donnybrook last Friday. Scotland will bring new challenges and we know they are also hurting from a loss last weekend [28-7 to Italy]. Replacements: Deirbhile Nic A Bhaird (UL Bohemian/Munster), Linda Djougang (Old Belvedere/Leinster), Fiona Reidy (UL Bohemians/Munster), Claire Boles (Railway Union), Claire McLaughlin (Old Belvedere/Ulster), Kathryn Dane (Old Belvedere/Ulster), Ellen Murphy (Old Belvedere/Leinster), Megan Williams (Old Belvedere/Leinster).
