Tom Tierney has freshened up his Ireland squad by naming six uncapped players in his 31-woman panel for the looming November Internationals.
Ireland will take on England, Canada and New Zealand as they ramp up preparations for next year's World Cup, for which they will be the host nation.
Tierney will put his panel through a two-day training camp in Dublin this weekend and has included prop Leah Lyons, second-row Nichola Fryday, Ireland Sevens international Anna Caplice, back-rower Chloe Pearse and centre Nicole Fowley in his plans.
"We've selected a squad that contains a nice blend of youth and experience," said Tierney.
"A number of the players selected made their debuts against England last November and since then have continued to develop as players with their clubs, provinces and with Ireland during last season's Six Nations.
"We've also included some uncapped players who have been performing well for their clubs this season in the All-Ireland League.
"With the World Cup now less than a year away, we have three very big Tests coming up in UCD, which will be the start of our build-up to Ireland 2017.
Ireland face against World Cup holders England on 13 November, followed by the team they defeated in the final, Canada, six days later and finally New Zealand on 27 November.
