Ireland have made just one change to their starting XV after a winning start to the Under-20s Six Nations.
Cormac Foley, scorer of the match-winning try as they defeated England 35-27 last weekend, is promoted from the bench to start at scrum-half against Scotland.
The Leinster youngster comes in for the Round Two clash at Netherdale on Friday, replacing vice-captain Craig Casey who is ruled out through injury.
Up front, props Josh Wycherley and Thomas Clarkson continue alongside Corinthians hooker Dylan Tierney-Martin, who touched down twice and was named man of the match in the opening round.
Vice-captain Charlie Ryan and Niall Murray resume their second-row partnership.
Martin Moloney, the Leinster-capped Scott Penny and No.8 John Hodnett feature again in the back row, while Harry Byrne, the scorer of 15 points last Friday, is joined at half-back by Foley.
The rest of the back-line is unchanged with captain David Hawkshaw and Liam Turner paired together at centre, and full-back Jake Flannery combining with wingers Conor Phillips and Jonathan Wren in the back three.
Shannon prop Luke Masters and Buccaneers’ Colm Reilly, who provides back-up for Foley at scrum-half, have been added to the replacements and both will be looking to win their first Ireland Under-20 caps.
Head coach Noel McNamara said: “We got things started on a really positive note on Friday night in Cork, and it was a credit to the players with how well they finished the game.
“It was great to get the Championship off with a win like that, but there’s a new challenge in front of us this Friday.
“I’ve no doubt Scotland will be hurting from their (32-22) loss against Italy.
“The players are very much focused on their own jobs for this Friday night, and they’re looking forward to their first away match of the campaign.”
