Roscommon women set to pack down for Connacht in Interprovincial clash

Roscommon are set to be well represented in the Connacht women’s team that will pack down against Munster on Saturday at Dexcom Stadium (kick off 4.15 p.m.).

Creagh native Aoibheann Reilly has been named to start once more after the Creggs women crossed for two tries against Leinster last time out.

Jemima Adams Verling, who was recently confirmed as receiving an IRFU central contract for the 2026/27 season, will pack down in the back row as Connacht aim to respond following their 36-21 defeat to Leinster.

Síofra Hession and Sarah Purcell have been named among the replacements as Connacht aim to secure their second win of the Vodafone Interprovincial Championship.

There are just two changes from the side that narrowly lost to Leinster last week. Clare Gorman is handed a start on the right wing after impressing off the bench in Dublin, while Uillian Eilian is named at hooker.

The rest of the starting XV is unchanged, with the pack completed by props Ella Burns and Lily Morris, locks Faith Oviawe and Poppy Garvey, and a back row of flankers Emma Kelly and Ailish Quinn, and number 8 Jemima Adams Verling.

The 9-10 combo of Aoibheann Reilly and Meabh Deely continues, as does the centre pairing of Lyndsay Clarke and Anna McGann.

Winger Emily Foley and full-back Clara Barrett complete the side.

Tickets are still available at connachtrugby.ie, and the game will also be streamed live on the TG4 YouTube channel.
