The Ireland Women’s team to play Wales in their opening game of the Women’s RBS 6 Nations at Aberavon RFC on Sunday (kick-off 1.30pm) has been named:

Head coach Philip Doyle has selected Ireland’s most capped player, Lynne Cantwell, at out-half for the Championship opener. She will be partnered at half-back by Larissa Muldoon.

Niamh Briggs starts at full-back with Niamh Kavanagh and Alison Miller on the wings, while Grace Davitt and Jenny Murphy make up a new centre partnership.

Up front, captain Fiona Coghlan packs down alongside Gill Bourke and Ailis Egan in the front row. Sophie Spence and Marie Louise Reilly form a strong second row.

Joy Neville, Claire Molloy and Laura Guest make up an exciting backrow combination.
