Cliodhna Moloney-MacDonald leads out the players on her own as she makes her 50th appearance for Ireland.

The rest of the cast follows shortly after before the anthems get underway.

New team, new start and new learning. The freshness of the new girls has brought an enormous amount of energy.

I think our preparation has served us well. I think we are unfinished, we want to play a style of rugby that will bring us to the top again.
