IRELAND CO-CAPTAIN Sam Monaghan has not been named in the squad that will travel to face England at Twickenham in the Women’s Six Nations on Saturday [KO: 2.15pm, Virgin Media One].

Aoife Dalton is the other fresh face in the centre alongside Eve Higgins, who retains her place in that partnership as Enya Breen drops to the bench.
No reason was cited for Monaghan’s absence in the team release from the IRFU, although she did miss the opening game of the tournament with a head injury.
For Ireland, the back three remains unchanged with Béibhinn Parsons, Katie Corrigan and Lauren Delany all in line to start.
Dorothy Wall partners O’Connor in the second row while the back row remains unchanged, with flankers Aoife Wafer and captain Edel McMahon while Brittany Hogan is again named at 8.
