Red Roses side to play Ireland in 2025 Six Nations third round
England Women's head coach John Mitchell has named his team to play Ireland on Saturday 12 April at Virgin Media Park, Cork.
Abby Dow will earn her 50th Red Roses cap. The Trailfinders Women wing scored twice last time out against Wales, taking her try tally for England to 43 in 49 games to date, since her two-try debut against Canada in 2017.
She forms part of an unchanged backline from Round 2 with head coach Mitchell making three changes to the pack. Gloucester-Hartpury back row Alex Matthews returns for her first appearance of the tournament with club teammate Maud Muir and Bristol Bear Hannah Botterman coming into the front row.
