Head coach **Scott Bemand** has announced the Ireland team (sponsored by *Aon)* for their Round 4 Guinness Women’s Six Nations clash with England at Twickenham Stadium on Saturday (kick-off 2.15pm). Bemand has made two changes to the starting fifteen from the team who came out on top against Wales last weekend in Cork, as Hannah O’Connor comes into the second row and Aoife Dalton starts in the centre. There is one change on the bench, as Méabh Deely joins the replacements. The front row remains the same with Linda Djougang, Neve Jones and Christy Haney. Dorothy Wall partners Hannah O’Connor in the second row while the backrow remains unchanged, with flankers Aoife Wafer and captain Edel McMahon while **Brittany Hogan** is again named at 8. Aoibheann Reilly and Dannah O’Brien make up the half back pairing. Aoife Dalton joins Eve Higgins to make up the centre partnership and the back three remains unchanged with Béibhinn Parsons, Katie Corrigan and Lauren Delany all set to start. The forwards replacements remains the same, with newly capped Shannon Ikahihifo, Clíodhna Moloney, Niamh O’Dowd, **Sadhbh McGrath** and **Fiona Tuite**. Méabh Deely is named alongside Molly Scuffil-McCabe and Enya Breen, as the replacement backs. Commenting on the selection, the Ireland Head Coach said, “We get another chance to perform as a group, in a great stadium with a big crowd. We are building some momentum in training and games. This is the kind of test we want, against the best out there. We want these occasions to be the norm and our players are excited by the opportunity in front of them. Judging by training intent and competition for selection, the players are ready. Hopefully we’ll see a wave of green around the stadium that will continue to get behind our group, each and every opportunity they have.” Saturday’s match is live on Virgin Media with live updates on twitter and instagram channels – @irishrugby #### Ireland Team (v England, Saturday 20 April, Twickenham Stadium, kick off 2.15pm) 15\.
