Connacht Women team named for Interprovincial Championship final
The Connacht Womens management team have named their starting XV for tomorrow's IRFU Women's Interprovincial Championship Final, with the squad going in search of a historic first interpro title.
 
There's one change to the side that impressively saw off Munster in the semi-finals last week, with Aifric O'Brien coming into the second row where she'll be joined by Tara Buggie.
 
Nichola Fryday captains the side from 8 where she'll be flanked by Ciara Farrell and Edel McMahon, while Laura Feely, Moya Griffin and Annmarie O'Hora complete the pack in the front row.
 
Vice-captain Mary Healy and Meabh Deely continue their half-back partnership, as do Shannon Touhey and Catherine Martin in midfield. Aoibheann Reilly is named at full-back with last week's try-scorers Alison Miller and Beibhinn Parsons on the wing.
 
Kick-off at Energia Park, Donnybrook is at 7pm and the game will be streamed LIVE on the Irish Rugby Facebook and YouTube pages.
