Best of luck to our own Ailish Quinn and Emily Foley who will wear the green of Ireland on Sunday for the hugely-anticipated U-21 Six Nations encounter with Wales in Ystrad Mynach at 2pm.

Ailish will once again line out at open-side flanker, where she has made a massive impression across the series while Emily will look to unleash her power and pace on the wing.

Ireland have won their opening two matches of the inaugural U21 Women’s Six Nations Series after a home win over Italy at Dexcom Stadium in Galway and last week’s superb 41-40 victory over England in Coventry.

Teni Onigbode, Katie Corrigan and Emily start in Ireland’s back three for the trip to Wales, with captain Lucia Linn once again partnering Niamh Murphy in midfield.

Ellie O’Sullivan Sexton switches back to out-half for Sunday, lining up outside Aoibhe Kelly at scrum-half.

In the pack, Ella Burns, Emma Dunican and Roisin Maher are named in the front row, with Aoibhe O’Kelly and Naoise Smyth in the engine room. The back row remains unchanged for Ireland with Sally Kelly at blindside flanker, Ailish at openside and Jemima Adams Verling at number eight.

On the bench, Sarah Delaney, Grainne Burke, Alisha Flynn, Aoibheann McGrath and Poppy Garvey are the forward replacements available to Briggs, with backs Siofra Hession, Leah Irwin and Chisom Ugwueru completing Ireland’s Match Day 23.

Sunday’s match is live on the U20s Six Nations YouTube channel.
