Connacht lock Jane Neill will captain the Ireland U-20s for their inaugural Six Nations Women’s Summer Series clash with England in Parma tomorrow evening (5.30).

The Ireland side is backboned by four members of UL Bohs’ recent Energia All-Ireland League (AIL) win, with hooker Beth Buttimer, back-row Brianna Heylmann, out-half Kate Flannery, and winger Chisom Uguweru, who scored a hat-trick in the final, hoping to make their mark in green.
