Tullow duo Dannah O’Brien and Anna Doyle will start at 10 and 11 respectively for Leinster this weekend with Tania Rosser making four changes to the side that beat Connacht last weekend.
The Blues head to Musgrave Park to take on Munster on Saturday in the second round of the Vodafone Women’s Interprovincial Championship.
Prop Aoife Moore and flanker Niamh O’Dowd come into the pack. After scoring a try last week as a replacement, Elise O’Byrne-White earns her first start of the Championship, as Molly Scuffil-McCabe also comes off the bench to start at scrum-half. Prop Christy Haney and number 8 Hannah O’Connor will once again co-captain the team.
Kick-off is at 12.15pm with the game broadcast live on TG4.
