The Munster team has been named for Saturday’s Vodafone Women’s Interprovincial Championship Round 3 clash against Ulster in Affidea Stadium (4:15pm), live on TG4 YouTube.
There have been four changes to the starting XV that recorded a bonus point win over current titleholders Leinster last weekend.
Up front Deirbhile Nic a Bháird replaces Aoife Fleming at hooker. She will pack down with Grainne Burke at loosehead and Eilís Cahill at tighthead.
There are two changes to this week's second row pairing as Clodagh O'Halloran and Jane Clohessy replace Aoibhe O'Flynn and Claire Bennett.
Brianna Heylmann will join captain Maeve Óg O'Leary and Chloe Pearse in the back-row.
Abbie Salter-Townshend will continue as our scum-half for this week and will be accompanied by fellow UL Bohs team-mate Kate Flannery at out-half.
Caitríona Finn will take up the inside centre role with Stephanie Nunan on her outside. While Alana McInerney will make the switch back out to the wing and join Chisom Ugwueru and Aoife Corey to make up the back-three.
There will be another three players making their debuts this weekend as Ballincollig RFC's Alisha Flynn, Ennis RFC's Sally Kelly and Loughborough College's Meghan Crilly are named on the bench.
Crilly will also be the first-ever current U18 player to play for the side.
They will be joined by Ciara McLoughlin, Claire Bennett, Emma Dunican, Sally Kelly, Eve Prendergast and Lucia Linn.
