Three changes from side that was beaten by France in last round

Tipperary player Dorothy Wall is in line to win her 19th cap for Ireland in Saturday's TikTok Women’s Six Nations clash against Italy (4.45pm).

Having lost to Wales and France, Ireland will be looking for their first win of the campaign in Parma.

22-year-old Dorothy Wall, from Fethard, is retained in the back row of an Irish team that shows three changes from the side that suffered a heavy 53-3 defeat by France in Round 2.

Full back Lauren Delany, centre Anna McGann and scrum half Ailsa Hughes have been introduced to the starting fifteen in place of Méabh Deely, Vicky Irwin and Molly Scuffil-McCabe. 

Ireland lost to Wales in the opening round in Cardiff.
