Ireland head coach Scott Bemand has named his team for Saturday's Women's Six Nations clash with Italy at Dexcom Stadium.
Kick-off is at 5:40pm.
Ireland return home for their first Six Nations outing in Galway, with the game now sold out as ticket sales pass the 8,000 mark.
Erin King leads the side, as Leinster winger Robyn O’Connor is named in the starting team for her debut appearance in green.
O’Connor is joined in the back three by Stacey Flood at full-back and Béibhinn Parsons on the right wing, with Nancy McGillivray partnering Aoife Dalton in midfield.
There is an unchanged half-back pairing as Emily Lane and Dannah O’Brien link up.

The back row of Brittany Hogan, captain King and Aoife Wafer remain unchanged.
