The Tik Tok Six Nations continues this weekend.
Following a disappointing loss to Wales last weekend, Ireland will look to get back on the winning trail when they travel to face France in Toulouse.
Kilcormac's Nichola Fryday continues in the second row as captain, while Athlone's Anna McGann will look to win her second cap from the bench.
Portlaoise's Emma Hooban could also reach a milestone 10th appearance when she is introduced at the Stade Ernest-Wallon.
Head Coach Greg McWilliams is opting for continuity, making no changes to the team which tasted defeat at the RDS last weekend.
Commenting ahead of the game, McWilliams said:
“We are fully aware of the challenge facing us this weekend, but we’ve had a good week of preparation, taking the positives from our opening game and implementing the learnings on the training pitch. It is a huge opportunity for us as a group to go and play one of the best teams of the world and test ourselves at this stage of our journey together.”
