IRELAND HEAD COACH SCOTT Bemand has named his Ireland Match Day Squad for Sunday’s opening WXV1 clash against New Zealand at BC Place in Vancouver .
There is just one change in the Ireland backline as Stacey Flood comes in to start at full-back, with Eimear Considine switching to the right wing and Amee-Leigh Murphy Crowe retaining her place on the left. In the pack, there is an unchanged front row as Niamh O’Dowd, Neve Jones and Linda Djougang are named to start, with Dorothy Wall joined by Fiona Tuite in the engine room.
Bemand has an exciting blend of youth and experience to call upon from the replacements bench, with Clíodhna Moloney, Siobhán McCarthy, Grace Moore and Erin King joining uncapped prop Andrea Stock as the reinforcements up front, while backs Emily Lane, Eve Higgins and Vicky Elmes Kinlan complete Ireland’s Match Day 23.
