Ireland women’s head coach Greg McWilliams insists he had no issues when it came to selecting former England flanker Jo Brown in his starting line-up for Saturday’s second and final test against Japan at Chichibunomiya Rugby Stadium in Tokyo.

Part of the Red Roses’ Grand Slam-winning squad in 2019, Brown qualifies to represent Ireland due to World Rugby’s new eligibility rule that allows players to switch allegiances if they have stood down from a particular nation for a period of at least three years.
