The Munster team has been named for Saturday’s Vodafone Women’s Interprovincial Final clash with Leinster in Dexcom Stadium (4:30pm), live on TG4 Youtube.
There have been two changes to the starting team after last week’s 12-47 win over Connacht.
Eilís Cahill returns to action this week as she packs down at tighthead with regulars Siobhan McCarthy and Beth Buttimer.
In the second row Clodagh O’Halloran makes the shift from flanker as she replaces the injured Jane Clohessy at lock, she will accompany UL Bohs clubmate Aoibhe O’Flynn who starts at four.
Captain Maeve Óg O’Leary makes her return to action as she is named at eight and joins Sally Kelly and Grace Moore in the back row.
Brown has named an unchanged back line for Saturday’s final.
Emily Lane and Caitriona Finn continue their partnership at nine and ten.
Enya Breen takes up the inside centre shirt while Lucia Linn continues to occupy the outside channel.
Chisom Ugwueru and Alana McInerney occupy the wings while Aoife Corey is named at full back.
Newcomers Caoimhe Murphy and Niamh O’Mahony retain their spots amongst the replacements this week after impressing against Connacht. They join Emma Dunican, Tuathla Ryan, Alisha Flynn, Abbie Salter-Townshend, Andrea Murphy and Katie Corrigan.
