On the Ireland Women's team, pride of place goes to out-half Lynne Cantwell (Richmond), Ireland's most capped player, who will have fellow Exile Larissa Muldoon (Cardiff Metropolitan University - another famed rugby academy) serving her at scrum-half.

We wish them all well for their respective encounters with the Welsh.
