Ireland Women head coach Tom Tierney has named an unchanged side for Sunday's Six Nations game against Scotland at Broadwood Stadium.

Tierney’s team defeated Wales 20-0 last week and they head to Cumbernauld looking to claim the Triple Crown and a possible Six Nations title.

"It's been a huge three months, a lot of change and getting to know new ways, thankfully the quality of the players have shone through in the results and fingers crossed Scotland will be another win," said Tierney.

"We are going to be mentally ready to take Scotland on its merits, we have to win the game first before we are in a position to chance points.

"We are going to concentrate on our basics, in both defence and attack. We are going to keep doing what we have been doing throughout the Six Nations."

Ireland Women: 15 Niamh Briggs (capt), 14 Hannah Tyrrell, 13 Jenny Murphy, 12 Jackie Shiels,11 Alison Miller, 10 Nora Stapleton, 9 Larissa Muldoon; 1 Ruth O'Reilly, 2 Gillian Bourke, 3 Ailis Egan, 4 Sophie Spence, 5 Marie Louise Reilly, 6 Paula Fitzpatrick, 7 Claire Molloy, 8 Heather O'Brien.
