Ireland head-coach Adam Griggs has named an unchanged starting 15 for tomorrow’s Women’s Rugby World Cup qualifier against Scotland in Parma.
That means Ballybofey native Laura Feely will start for the second game in a row at loosehead.
There’s one enforced switch on the bench with Lucy Mulhall coming in for the injured Enya Breen.
Ireland, hosts Italy, Spain and Scotland are all locked on five points in the standings heading into the final round of fixtures at the qualifier tournament.
The team who finishes top tomorrow evening will book their passage to next year’s finals in New Zealand.
