IRELAND HAVE made five changes for their upcoming Six Nations clash against Wales at Rodney Parade following last weekend’s 49-5 loss to England.
Captain Edel McMahon, Enya Breen, Molly Scuffil-McCabe, Siobhán McCarthy and Ruth Campbell come into the side.
Erin King, Niamh O’Dowd, Fiona Tuite, Eve Higgins and Emily Lane make way, with the latter trio named among the replacements.
Scott Bemand’s side are third in the Six Nations table on five points, after one win and two defeats so far.
They will be hoping for a morale-boosting win against bottom-of-the-table Wales, who have lost all three of their opening fixtures.
