Aoife Wafer has been included in the Ireland squad

Aoife Wafer has been included in the Ireland squad for the Women's World Cup.

The 2025 Six Nations Player of the Championship underwent knee surgery earlier this summer, but is deemed fit enough to take her place in Scott Bemand's selection.

Co-captain Edel McMahon is also included after her recent injury worries, while hooker Beth Buttimer is the only uncapped player in the squad.

Ivana Kiripati, Nancy McGillivray and Ellena Perry, who all received caps in the recent warm up games, make the final selection.

Ireland begin their campaign against Japan on Sunday week in Northampton, having lost their final warm-up match to Canada in Belfast on Saturday.
