Ireland Women's team to face England

Head Coach Tom Tierney has confirmed the Ireland Women's side to take on England in Donnybrook this Friday night.
 
The side for the Championship decider shows one change to the team that defeated Wales 12-7 last weekend, as scrum-half Larissa Muldoon moves from the replacements into the starting fifteen.
 
The remainder of the line-up is unchanged as props Lindsay Peat and Ailis Egan join Leah Lyons in the front row for the fifth successive game.
