McWilliams names Ireland team for final round clash

Greg McWilliams has named his side to take on Scotland in the final round of the 2022 Women’s Six Nations. 

 Sam Monaghan returns in the second row while it will be a big occasion for Vicky Irwin who will make her international debut at fullback. 

It has been a disappointing campaign for the Irish who have managed just one victory thus far and will no doubt give their all to end on a positive note. 

“A couple of injuries have forced us to make minor changes this week, but overall we are very pleased with the dynamic of the team and we’re excited to get to work on Saturday,” McWilliams said. 

“It will be a special moment for us all to have a big home crowd behind us at Kingspan Stadium, but for Neve, Kathryn and Vicky it will be particularly special to play in Belfast. 

“We have received huge support in Dublin and Cork so far in this Six Nations and it’s a massive boost for the whole group to have so many people – young and old – behind us as we embark on our journey together. 

“We have learned a lot about ourselves over the last six weeks and we hope to produce a strong performance to finish the Six Nations the way we want this Saturday. It promises to be another great occasion and we can’t wait to see so many of you in Belfast.”
