Ireland Women Head Coach Tom Tierney has made one change to the side that overcame Italy for his side’s forthcoming clash against France on Friday (kick-off 1930).
Having come on to make her debut as a substitute in Ireland's 30-5 demolition of the Italians, Katie Fitzhenry has been promoted from the bench to be named in the centre, with Jackie Shiels named among the replacements.
"It was great to get the result last week and there was some good things we can take out of the Italy clash,” Tierney said.
"This week sees another step up for the players in terms of opposition.
"Playing at home is a great plus for us and hopefully we will have a big Ashbourne crowd to make it a good atmosphere to help give those home supporters a good performance and a win.”
The game will be streamed live, via the IRFU, on the RTÉ Sport website.
