There is one uncapped player in the squad with hooker Beth Buttimer who impressed in the recent U20 Summer Series getting the call up.
Ivana Kiripati, Nancy McGillivray and Ellena Perry, who all received caps in the recent warm up games, make the final squad.
The Ireland women’s coaching team is led by Head Coach Scott Bemand who is assisted by Alex Codling, Denis Fogarty, Larissa Muldoon, James Scaysbrook and Gareth Steenson.
Head Coach, Scott Bemand said “When we qualified for the Rugby World Cup in April 2024, we knew it gave us a solid amount of time to prepare for the tournament. We have used that time to build depth and cultivate our “Green Wave”. The majority of this squad have now been together since the start of June, and we are excited to finally get going."
