Ireland team named for final Six Nations game v Scotland



Co-captain Sam Monaghan has returned to the Ireland team for Saturday’s final Women’s Six Nations game against Scotland.

Monaghan, who missed the France opener and last week’s defeat by England, is back to partner Dorothy Wall in the second row.

Head coach Scott Bemand’s other two changes see Enya Breen replace Aoife Dalton at centre and Meabh Deely given the nod at full-back.

Uncapped Leinster back Katie Heffernan is set to make her debut after being named on the bench for the game in Belfast.

ATU Sligo graduate Cliodhna Moloney is again named among the Ireland replacements – but there is no Nicole Fowley in the matchday squad for Saturdady’s game, which will kick off at the Kingspan Stadium in Belfast at 2:30pm.

The match will be televised live by RTÉ.
