The teams are up for the Irish Rugby Women’s Interprovincial match between Leinster and Ulster which takes palace at Donnybrook Stadium on Saturday evening. Kick off 6:30 pm.
Ulster welcome back Irish internationals, Nikki Caughey at full back, and Ashleigh Baxter at openside and, though I’m surprised that both have come straight into the starting line up, I am happy to see thier names on the team sheet.
Caughey replaces Maeve Liston, who drops to the bench, with Pieta McAllister moving to the centre for the injured Eliza Downey. Emma Jordan takes McAllister’s spot on the wing after an impressive showing as a replacement last week.
Kathryn Dane and Jemma Jackson remain as halfbacks with internationals Amy Davis and Claire McLaughlin turning out on the wing and the centre respectively for the second successive game.
Up front, the front row of Ilse Van Staden, Lesley Megarity and Sorcha Mac Laimhim remain in place after good work against their Munster counterparts. Naomi McCullagh also returns, after her best performance . . .
