Scott Bemand has named a much changed starting 15 for the anniversary test.

Head Coach Scott Bemand has made seven changes to his team for Saturday's 150th Anniversary Test against Australia.

Five of those changes are in the back-line with Clara outside centre Aoife Dalton starting alongside Enya Breen at 12.

While Outhalf Dannah O'Brien will partner Scrum-half Molly Scuffil-McCabe in Belfast.

Wingers Amee-Leigh Murphy Crowe and debutant Vicky Elmes Kinlan make up the back three with full back Eimear Considine.

In the pack there's two changes with Linda Djougang switching to tighthead - allowing Niamh O'Dowd to start at loosehed alongside hooker Neve Jones.

The other debutant is Ruth Campbell who joins Dorothy Wall in the second row.

The unchanged back row sees skipper Edel McMahon joined by Aoife Wafer and Brittany Hogan.

Siobhan McCarthy and Erin King could make their debuts off the bench.
