Speaking on the announcement McWilliam's said
“A couple of injuries have forced us to make minor changes this week, but overall we are very pleased with the dynamic of the team and we’re excited to get to work on Saturday,” the Ireland headcoach stated.
“It will be a special moment for us all to have a big home crowd behind us at Kingspan Stadium, but for Neve, Kathryn and Vicky it will be particularly special to play in Belfast.
We have received huge support in Dublin and Cork so far in this Six Nations and it’s a massive boost for the whole group to have so many people – young and old – behind us as we embark on our journey together.
“We have learned a lot about ourselves over the last six weeks and we hope to produce a strong performance to finish the Six Nations the way we want this Saturday.
It promises to be another great occasion and we can’t wait to see so many of you in Belfast.”
Saturday’s Round 5 clash is live on RTÉ2, BBC Two Northern Ireland and BBC Scotland, while tickets are available via Ticketmaster.ie.
