Stuart Hogg has been named in the Scotland side for their Six Nations opener against Ireland in Dublin. Hogg returns at full-back after missing the autumn Tests through injury, while Alex Dunbar is preferred to Nick De Luca at centre for Sunday's game. Tim Swinson gets the nod over Grant Gilchrist in the second row and blind-side flanker Ryan Wilson replaces virus-hit Johnnie Beattie. Sean Maitland moves to the wing to accommodate Hogg at number 15. Dunbar, Swinson, Wilson and inside centre Duncan Taylor will be making their first starts in the Six Nations.
