The Ulster Women's team, sponsored by the Errigle Inn, has been named for the final Inter-Provincial series game away to Connacht this Saturday 17th December (kick-off 2.00pm at Corinthians RFC).
Ulster coaches Jarrett Truscott and Philip Doyle have made six changes to the starting XV from the side that lost away to Leinster last weekend.
Joint captain Claire McLaughlin, one of Ulster’s brightest performers in the series to date, moves to outside centre, where she will be partnered in midfield by Brittany Hogan, who makes her first start of the campaign.
Also making their first starts in the series are hooker Beth Cregan, winger Leah McGoldrick and full-back Vicky Irwin, while Hannah Beattie regains her place at lock following a replacement appearance last week.
