Emma Hooban and Anna Caplice also step into the starting XV, while Galwegians lock Feely, a native of Ballybofey, has retained her jersey for the game in Glasgow. Feely is a daughter of Kevin and Christine from Glenview in Ballybofey.
The game against England last week was undeniably a tough start to the Women’s Six Nations and while the final scoreline was far from ideal, there are positives we will take from that game,” Griggs said.
“Our set piece was solid throughout and we were able to challenge England at times during the game.
“We need to build on those positives now and make improvements in other areas of our game to become more consistent and force more pressure on our opponents. Scotland will bring new challenges and we know they’re also hurting from a loss last weekend.
