Despite opting for a fourth different combination in just six tests for tomorrow's summer tour clash against Japan at Ecopa Stadium in Fukuroi City (kick-off 11am Irish time/7pm local time), head coach Greg McWilliams insists he is in no rush to nail down a regular half-back partnership for the Ireland women's rugby team.

Although long-term injuries sustained by both Aoibheann Reilly and Kathryn Dane earlier this year has restored Ailsa Hughes to the Irish starting line-up for the first time under McWilliams' watch, 18-year-old Tullow prodigy Dannah O'Brien is handed a debut at fly-half in the first of two encounters with the Japanese in the space of seven days.
