Aoife Wafer is not part of Ireland's squad for Sunday's final Rugby World Cup pool game against New Zealand, but co-captain Sam Monaghan has won her race to be fit.
Monaghan picked up a hip injury in last week's win over Spain, but she's been named to start in the pack, with co-captain Edel McMahon returning to the starting 15.
Neve Jones, Ruth Campbell, Brittany Hogan, Aoibheann Reilly and Aoibhinn Parsons also come in to start.
