Adam Griggs has named a squad of 24 players ahead of the third round of the 2020 Women’s Six Nations against England on Sunday. Ireland have two wins out of two from the opening rounds of the tournament and travel to Doncaster to face England on Sunday afternoon. [jwplayer ypd5XccF] Katie Fitzhenry is included in the squad after returning from the HSBC Sevens World Series in Sydney. Beibhinn Parsons will be unavailable for selection for the remainder of the championship due to Leaving Cert preparation. Speaking about Beibhinn, Griggs said,

It's been a couple of big weeks for Beibhinn, but we spoke to her and came up with a plan at the start. Her studies are very important so we'll be giving her the time off and she'll concentrate on her leaving cert and come back to us in the summer.

The team to play England will be named on Friday.
