Ireland have named an unchanged starting team for Saturday's final TikTok Women’s Six Nations match against Scotland, with Dorothy Wall among the replacements.
Wall missed the 48-0 loss to England last weekend with an ankle injury but has recovered to take her place in the matchday squad.
"Dorothy is raring to go, I think she had her best week training this week," head coach Greg McWilliams told RTÉ Sport.
"I thought the back row last week were exceptional. It's very hard to displace people with the stats they had, the work rate and energy that they brought all week.
"Dorothy has added to that this week. It was a very tough call but to have a player like Dorothy to be able to come off the bench is a weapon that we know we have."
Prop Linda Djougang, who failed a head injury assessment in the defeat to the Red Roses, has been passed fit to play in the Edinburgh encounter (7.30pm).
Wall and Ailsa Hughes, who was a late call-up for Nicole Cronin for last week’s tie in Cork, are named on the replacements bench in the only two changes in personnel.
Lauren Delany, Aoife Doyle and Natasja Behan are retained in the unchanged back three, with Vicky Irwin and Aoife Dalton making up the midfield partnership.
Molly Scuffil-McCabe continues alongside her Leinster team-mate Dannah O’Brien in the half-backs.
The front row of Linda Djougang, Neve Jones and Christy Haney start together for the fourth consecutive match, with captain Nichola Fryday and Sam Monaghan an ever-present in the engine room.
Brittany Hogan starts at blindside flanker, with Grace Moore continuing at openside and Deirbhile Nic a Bháird at number 8.
On the replacements bench, Clara Nielson, Sadhbh McGrath, Kathryn Buggy, Hannah O’Connor and Wall provide the reinforcements up front, with Hughes, Anna McGann and Méabh Deely completing the matchday 23.
Ireland will need a bonus-point win over Scotland to avoid a first wooden spoon since 2004.
Head coach Greg McWilliams said: "It has been a challenging championship but we have learned a huge amount throughout the course of the campaign, and we have seen improvements week-on-week.
"The focus now is to put all those learnings to the test and produce our best performance of the season in Edinburgh.
"The group is hugely motivated to finish the Six Nations with a positive performance and result, but we know it will be a huge challenge against a very talented Scotland side who are really building under Bryan Easson.
"We're looking forward to a big occasion with a record crowd expected in Edinburgh on Saturday night."
