Ireland head coach Greg McWilliams, who takes charge of the Combined Provinces XV this weekend, sees the Celtic Challenge as a great opportunity for players and coaches to test themselves ahead of tje TikTok Women's Six Nations.
Speaking about the squad as whole, McWilliams said:
Selection is never easy, we've been monitoring players throughout the Energia AIL and then the Interpros. We've been on the ground and at the games and we have all the footage and we've gone with the players we believe deserve a chance right now. There's a great blend, with seven teenagers in group and nineteen players under the age of 22 - there's some exciting young talent. We've got one eye on preparing for the Six Nations but it's also an opportunity for us as coaches to work with some good young talent."
