Connacht Rugby Women’s head coach Craig Hansberry has named his matchday squad for tomorrow’s Vodafone Interprovincial Championship meeting with Munster at Dexcom Stadium (k/o 4.15pm).
There's just two changes from the side that narrowly lost to Leinster last week. Clare Gorman is handed a start on the right wing after impressing off the bench in Dublin, while Uillian Eilian is named at hooker.
The rest of the starting XV is unchanged, with the pack completed by props Ella Burns and Lily Morris, locks Faith Oviawe and Poppy Garvey, and a back row of flankers Emma Kelly and Ailish Quinn, and number 8 Jemima Adams Verling.
The 9-10 combo of Aoibheann Reilly and Meabh Deely continues, as does the centre pairing of Lyndsay Clarke and Anna McGann.
Winger Emily Foley and full-back Clara Barrett complete the side.
Tickets are still available at connachtrugby.ie, and the game will also be streamed LIVE on the TG4 YouTube channel.
Craig Hansberry says:
"We were very disappointed last weekend as there was a genuine belief within the group that we could get the win. Ultimately it came down to fine margins and despite the loss I was really proud of the way the players applied themselves against such a strong team. They'll take a lot from the experience.
Munster are another massive challenge, but the girls are buzzing to line out in front of their home fans for the first time this season. Hopefully there'll be a big crowd to come out and support them."
