Philip Doyle has named his Irish side that will face England in tomorrow's Women's Rugby World Cup semi final. 

It's the same 15 that beat New Zealand in the Pool stages, so the 10 changes made for the Kazakhstan pool game have been reversed.

It means Niamh Briggs, Ashleigh Baxter, Alison Miller, Nora Stapleton, Captain Fiona Coghlan, Ailis Egan, Sophie Spence, Marie Louise Reilly and Claire Molloy are all back in the side.

Heather O'Brien is also in the starting 15, after recovering from a finger injury.

The game kicks off at 5pm Irish time tomorrow at the Stade Jean Bouin in Paris.

Ireland team to face England: Niamh Briggs, Ashleigh Baxter, Lynne Cantwell, Grace Davitt, Alison Miller, Nora Stapleton, Tania Rosser; Fiona Coghlan, Gillian Bourke, Ailis Egan, Sophie Spence, Marie Louise Reilly, Paula Fitzpatrick, Claire Molloy, Heather O'Brien.
