Munster team named

The Munster team has been named for tomorrow’s Vodafone Women’s Interprovincial Championship Round 1 clash with Ulster at City of Armagh RFC.

Head Coach Niamh Briggs has named back-row Dorothy Wall as captain for tomorrow's clash as squad captain Nicole Cronin misses out through injury.

All players in Saturday's starting XV were involved in last season's title winning interprovincial series.
