The Leinster centre is one of two changes to Scott Beamand's side.
Ireland have made two changes to their starting fifteen for Saturday's Women's Six Nations game against England at Twickenham.
Clara centre Aoife Dalton and second row Hannah O'Connor come in while Enya Breen drops to the bench with co-captain Sam Monaghan left out of the matchday squad.
While Ballinasloe pair Béibhinn Parsons and Aoibheann Reilly continue on the wing and at 9 respectively.
Ireland claimed their first Six Nations win in two years last time out with an impressive 36-5 victory against Wales.
England, meanwhile, are undefeated and set for a title and potential grand slam decider against France.
Ireland head coach Scott Beamand was the attack coach for England and is looking forward to taking on his old side:
