Ireland women's rugby coach Adam Griggs has included eight uncapped players in his squad for next month's training games against Scotland and France ahead of their Test international with Wales in UCD.
Inter-pro championship winners with Leinster Judy Bobbett, Victoria Dabanovich O'Mahony, Grace Miller, Hannah O'Connor and Katie O'Dwyer have all been called up.
Miller is the younger sister of former Ireland winger Alison.
Connacht centre Shannon Touhey, Lindenwood College's Mary Healy and Munster's Dorothy Wall could also win their first caps.
"We're really looking forward to this weekend’s camp and the next few weeks ahead leading into our Test match vs Wales." Ireland boss Griggs said of the upcoming games.
"Each player included in the squad has been selected on their form through the Interpro series and the Tyrells Premiership.
"As well as having a larger squad to travel and play, this will give the coaching group a chance to look at different combinations and give the players a great opportunity to test themselves at an international level and see how they handle the step up in pace and intensity.
"We also have two new coaches on board this year, who have added real quality to the work Jeff Carter and Mike Ross have started with this group.
"Steven McGuinness who works full time with IQ Rugby is our new forwards coach and Kieran Hallett who is with Leinster as an EPDO has come in as our defence coach. It’s great to see the professionalism of the new coaches and the value they have brought to the players."
