O'Gara to make first Six Nations 2011 start against Scotland

Ronan O'Gara will reclaim his place as Ireland's fly-half in one of three changes for the match against Scotland at Murrayfield on Sunday.
Having come on as a replacement for Jonathan Sexton in Ireland's last two games, O'Gara's excellent performances have led to a starting position. The 33-year-old will relish the chance to pick up some points, needing just seven to reclaim the Six Nations scoring record from Jonny Wilkinson.
Eoin Reddan will replace scrum-half Tomas O'Leary while last year's player of the championship, Tommy Bowe, will replace Fergus McFadden on the wing.
All three players will look to cement their positions with good performances, especially as Scotland have not beaten Ireland at home in the Six Nations for ten years.
