Ireland head coach Scott Bemand has made four changes to his side for Sunday's Women’s Six Nations clash against Italy at the RDS (Kick-off 3pm).

In the pack, Sam Monaghan returns to the second row and will captain the side while Grace Moore is named at blind side flanker, having come off the bench last week.
