Niamh Briggs who lines out at 10 for Ireland this weekend
The Ireland Women’s squad to face Scotland in their final home game of the Womens Six Nations has been announced by Head Coach, Adam Griggs and it contains six Munster stars.
Griggs has made two changes to the starting side that overcame Wales a fortnight ago in their last outing in the tournament.
Hannah Tyrrell is promoted from the bench to the wing while up front, Cliodhna Moloney is named at hooker.
Ashleigh Baxter and Louise Galvin have come into the side and are named in the replacements.
Speaking ahead of the game, Griggs said "We came away with a good win against Wales and there are some huge positives to come out of that. We are in a good place going into the final two games.
I've no doubt Scotland will be looking to push us hard on Sunday afternoon. If we replicate our last performance, get the small things right, I am confident we will have a successful outcome."
