Head coach Scott Bemand has made three changes to his team for Ireland’s final WXV1 match with the USA.

After a stunning win over New Zealand on their WXV1 debut, the Irish were defeated by hosts Canada on Sunday.

That leaves Ireland third in the table heading into the final match against the USA, who have lost both their matches to England and France.

Bemand has made two changes to his backline. Centre Eve Higgins drops to the bench and is replaced by Aoife Dalton, while fly-half Nicole Fowley comes in for Dannah O’Brien.

There is one change to the Irish pack as Neve Jones starts in place of Cliodhna Moloney at hooker.

Ruth Campbell is named on the bench, while Grace Moore drops out of the matchday squad.

Centre Enya Breen will captain Ireland in the absence of injured back row Edel McMahon.

The match kicks off at 20:30 BST at BC Place Stadium in Vancouver.
