Ireland scrum-half Isaac Boss has been rule dout of this weekend's Six Nations clash with Scotland after suffering a shoulder injury during Ulster's Magners League defeat against Llanelli Scarlets.

Boss, a try-scoring substitute in Ireland's 43-13 RBS 6 Nations demolition of England nine days ago, was ruled out following a scan on his injured shoulder this morning,

The scan took place in Belfast and the results confirmed that Boss has injured his AC joint. He will undergo a rehabilitation programme and the injury will be reassessed next week.

Ireland coach Eddie O'Sullivan had already added Wasps scrum-half Eoin Reddan to the training squad ahead of Saturday's clash against Scotland at Murrayfield and he is due to announce the starting line-up tomorrow.

Reddan is among 10 players called up for training, joining Geordan Murphy, Tommy Bowe, Barry Murphy, Rob Kearney, Frankie Sheahan, Bryan Young, Stephen Ferris, Jamie Heaslip and Trevor Hogan.

An Ireland victory over Scotland would see them clinch a second successive Triple Crown.
