Only one change from Italy game. Ireland seeking first win over France since 2017
Head coach Scott Bemand has made just one change to his side for Saturday's crucial Guinness Women’s Six Nations clash away to France.
Dorothy Wall returns to the second row in the only change from last week’s 57-20 win against Italy in Galway.
The Munster and Exeter Chiefs lock replaces Ruth Campbell.
The only other alteration to the matchday 23 sees Eilís Cahill on the bench ahead of Sadhbh McGrath as the tighthead prop replacement.
Wing Robyn O’Connor retains her 11 jersey after marking her debut with a try in last week’s victory. She’s joined in the back three by Stacey Flood – who scored a try the last time these sides met – and Beibhinn Parsons, hat-trick scorer a week ago.
Nancy McGillivray and Aoife Dalton are the centres.
Emily Lane is scrum-half, with Tullow’s Dannah O’Brien at outhalf.
It’s the same front row for the third successive game: Ellena Perry, Clíodhna Moloney-MacDonald and Linda Djougang.
Wall is paired with Fiona Tuite in the second row
The back row is Brittany Hogan and captain Erin King, and Aoife Wafer at number 8.
