Briggs has made eleven changes to the team that lost to England in the opening game. There’s a new look to the back line as Niamh Gallagher comes in at fullback with Robyn O’Connor moving to the wing. Clara Barrett comes in to complete the back three.
May Goulding and Ellie O’Sullivan-Sexton start at nine and ten while Éabha Nic Dhonnacha and Lucia Linn make up the centre pairing.
Sophie Barrett stays at tighthead as Grainne Burke and Amanda McQuade come into the front row. Ruth Campbell is joined by Cliodhna Ní Chonchobhair in the second row. The skipper Jane Neill moves to Number 8 with Eadaoin Murtagh unchanged on the openside, and Faith Oviawe coming in at blindside.
Kelly Burke, Hannah Wilson, Róisín Maher, Lily Morris and Brianna Heylmann make up the forwards bench. Jade Gaffney, Hannah Clarke and vice-captain Kate Flannery, are the backs replacements.
Tuesday’s match is available to watch live on Irish Rugby YouTube and Six Nations YouTube channels
