Ireland rugby head coach Greg McWilliams has named an unchanged starting-15 for Saturday’s TikTok Six Nations match with France in Toulouse.
Former Kilkenny College student Nichola Fryday will continue to skipper the team from the second row as Ireland look to bounce back from their opening day defeat to Wales.
Jeff Carter is the head of rugby at Kilkenny College and a former Irish women’s coach had recently been telling Scoreline of the school’s delight at the news.
The bench is also unchanged with Beibhinn Parsons there alongside Christy Haney, who could win her first cap.
🗣️ "I fully trust the group we have to go again."
