Ireland make one change for France game in Clermont

Dorothy Wall has been drafted into the starting line-up Ireland head coach Scott Bemand has made one change to his starting XV for Saturday's Women's Six Nations trip to France. Dorothy Wall replaces Ruth Campbell in the second row in the only alteration from the line-up that started last week's resounding 57-20 win over Italy in Galway. On the bench, Eilis Cahill is named as the back-up tight-head prop as Sadhbh McGrath drops out of the squad.

Ireland are aiming for a first away win over France and a first Women's Six Nations victory against Les Bleues since a 13-10 win in Donnybrook in 2017. France recovered from a 13-0 deficit to win last year's World Cup quarter-final 18-13, but Bemand insists Saturday's game is "not about revenge". "It's the next game and where we are in our cycle," said Bemand.

"This is our next opportunity to get a performance out there. We've got a great squad that are starting to ask better questions of selection. We've left some really talented players out of the 23.

"Where we are, how we're going, we're tracking in the right direction. " Bemand has stuck with the same backline after a free-flowing attacking performance that yielded nine tries in Galway. Stacey Flood continues at full-back with right wing Beibhinn Parsons hoping to build on her hat-trick against the Italians.
