Munsters Lynne Cantwell has been as vice captain for the game. The game which is an uncapped friendly will be paramount to both teams preparations ahead of the Womens 2009 RBS 6 Nations commencing in February.  The Womens 6 Nations are run in tandem with the Mens 6 Nations tournament so be sure to keep an eye of for the progress of the Irish Women.

Coach Steven Hennessy has named a 28 player panel for the game with 14 of the players playing their club rugby in Munster. The squad includes a number of new players being called up to the squad, all of whom will no doubt be pushing to be included in Hennessys panel for the 6 Nations Series.

The game which has a 2.30pm kick off will be played in St. Marys RFC.
