Ireland 'have it in us' to claim Springboks series win

Bemand has made two changes for the second game at Athlone Stadium.

Niamh Gallagher replaces Stacey Flood at full-back while Aoibheann Reilly is recalled at scrum-half as Emily Lane drops to the bench.

"Aoibheann and Emily have been going toe-to-toe. I thought Emily had a great game last week and she had a run for us in the Six Nations. It's a bit of rotation and giving Aoibheann a shot from the start," Bemand explained.

"Niamh has been going really well in training and we have been really impressed with how she went in that second Japanese game and she's earned the right to come have a crack at it."
