Ireland start in Italy for Laura Feely

The Ireland Women’s team to play Italy in the third round of the Women’s Six Nations in Parma on Saturday (kick-off 7.45pm local time/6.45pm Irish time) has been named.
Ballybofey’s Laura Feely will start for the third consecutive game in the front row.
Head coach Adam Griggs has made just one change to the side that earned a 22-5 bonus point win over Scotland in Glasgow two weeks ago.
Old Belvedere scrum half Kathryn Dane, who made her debut off the bench against England, has been selected for her first international start.
Griggs said: “The Italian game should be a cracker, they have played well of late and are unbeaten so far in this Championship. We’ve been preparing diligently and know they have quality footballers that will put you under real pressure. We’ll need to be aware of these and look to close them down early if we are to get any success on Saturday.”
