ONE Tralee player makes it into the Ireland team who welcome Italy to Donnybrook this Sunday at 1pm for their Round 4 Six Nations clash.
Ciara Griffin, will start while Zoe Grattage and Ruth O’Reilly will have to be content with a place on the bench. Ireland have lost their last two games against England and France so hopefully Ciara can help them get back on track.
Irish Rugby TV will provide a live stream for coverage online.
