Ireland have declared a full deck for Saturday’s Six Nations clash with England at Twickenham with Aoife Wafer and Linda Djougang both back training after suffering injuries last weekend against Wales.

And head coach Scott Bemand is hoping that the upcoming experience at the home of English rugby can be replicated one day at the Aviva Stadium, where the Republic of Ireland soccer team has played twice in recent times.
