Kildare's Sarah Delaney will lead Leinster onto the field at Galway's Dexcom Stadium tomorrow (Saturday 29th) for the Vodafone Interprovincial Championship Final against Munster.
Leinster Head Coach, Sana Govender has made two changes to the starting XV from last Saturday's one-sided victory over Ulster in Belfast, with Naas's Kate Jordan coming back into the second row, while Carlow's Dannah O'Brien returns at fly half.
Delaney and Jordan are two of five Kildare-based players in Leinster's starting lineup, with Naas duo Ruth Campbell and Erin King in the pack, while MU Barnhall's Eve Higgins at inside centre.
The bench is almost entirely made up of Kildare players; the Wilson sisters, Emma-Jane and Hannah from PortDara Falcons, Castledermot's Roisin Kinch, and Barhall trio, Hope Lowney, Aoife Corcoran and Emma Tilly.
The game will be broadcast live on the Spórt TG4 YouTube channel, with Munster going in as big favourites, having already beaten Leinster in the opening rounds.
