Hannah Tyrrell has been reinstated in Ireland's starting XV for Friday night's Six Nations clash with England at Ashbourne (7.30).
The Old Belvedere winger has completed her return-to-play protocols and is head coach Tom Tierney's only change to the team that lost 10-5 to France a fortnight ago.
"England are a formidable opposition," Tierney said. "They are the world champions and we are under no illusions about the strength of this side.
"It was a disappointing loss against France, but there were some positives to take out of it. We have dusted ourselves off and are ready for the next challenge."
