IRELAND SEVENS STAR Vicky Elmes Kinlan and Leinster lock Ruth Campbell will make their Women’s XV debuts in Saturday’s Test against Australia [2.30pm, TG4].

Elmes Kinlan was initially brought into camp as a training panellist, but has played her way into Scott Bemand’s plans and will start on the right wing at Ravenhill, while Campbell earns the nod in the second row.

Eimear Considine and Amee-Leigh Murphy Crowe both return to the starting XV where they will win their first caps since 2022.

The uncapped Erin King is one of four Paris Olympians named among the replacements alongside Emily Lane, Eve Higgins and Stacey Flood, while Siobhan McCarthy is also in line to make her senior Test debut from the bench.
