Helen Brosnan and Nora Stapleton will look to add some invention to the backs against a Red Rose side who are yet to concede a point in this year’s competition.

Ireland went down 19-9 to France two weeks ago in Blois and after shifting Amy Davis from right to left wing and moving Joanne O'Sullivan centre West admits the odds are stacked against his side halting the undefeated English juggernaut.

“We are aware we have a big task ahead of us,” said West. “This is an important game, England have yet to concede a score in this year's tournament.

“From our side, we have been concentrating on our set pieces and are looking forward to the challenge."
