Sheehan and Henderson start for Ireland with Conan named on bench, Henshaw suffers hamstring injury

Jack Conan is in line for his first taste of World Cup action after being named on the Ireland bench the Pool B match against Scotland in Paris on Saturday (8pm).

The Lions number 8 had been sidelined with a foot injury since the start of August but is set to feature at Stade de France.

Iain Henderson gets in ahead of James Ryan in the second row, with the Leinster player starting on the bench.

"He's fit and he had a bit of a niggle on a wrist but that’s fine," said head coach Andy Farrell about Ryan (above).

"He’s fit and raring to go."

Elsewhere, hooker Dan Sheehan starts with Rónan Kelleher named among the replacements.

Henderson and Sheehan's inclusion mean there are just two changes to the team that beat South Africa 12 days ago.

There was bad news, however for Robbie Henshaw, who suffered a hamstring injury on Tuesday and faces at least a couple of weeks out.

"He pulled up with a hamstring at the end of the session on Tuesday, unfortunate for him," said Farrell.

"The diagnosis with hamstrings, they want to see how things settle down it probably takes around five days for that kind of thing to happen.

"It looks like it could be a minimum of a couple of weeks at this stage."

Stuart McCloskey also makes his first match-day squad of the tournament with the Ulster centre among the substitutes.

Andrew Porter and Tadhg Furlong start either side of Sheehan, with Tadhg Beirne retained in the second row.

The back row also remains unchanged with Peter O’Mahony set to win his 100th Ireland cap on the flank. The Munster skipper will be alongside Josh van der Flier and number 8 Caelan Doris.

As expected, the starting backline is the same with Jamison Gibson-Park linking up with captain Johnny Sexton in the half-backs.
