Ireland coach Philip Doyle has named the same starting XV that beat New Zealand for Wednesday's Women's World Cup semi-final against England in Paris (5.0pm Irish time).
Ireland made 10 changes for the final pool victory over Kazakhstan after two intense and physical pool encounters against the USA and New Zealand.
Niamh Briggs returns at fullback and first-choice wingers Ashleigh Baxter and Alison Miller either side of the midfield pairing of Lynne Cantwell and Grace Davitt, who will start a fourth match together in the tournament.
Tanya Rosser moves back to scrumhalf after playing No 10 against Kazakhstan to allow for the return of Nora Stapleton at outhalf.
Skipper Fiona Coghlan and Ailis Egan return either side of hooker Gillian Bourke in the frontrow and the Old Belvedere pairing of Sophie Spence and Marie Louise Reilly are back in the secondrow.
The final two changes come in the backrow, with Claire Molloy in at openside and Heather O'Brien returning at No 8 after recovering from a finger injury, letting Paula Fitzpatrick move back to blindside.
England make six changes including the return of captain Katy McLean at outhalf in place of Ceri Large after she missed the final two pool games. She forms a new halfback partnership with with scrumhalf La Toya Mason.
“This is a hugely experienced side and it is a settled side too with the core of this team playing three out of the four games in this World Cup,” said England head coach Gary Street.
“Ceri Large has done a great job at flyhalf for this tournament but it is great to welcome back Katy who is feeling fresh and ready to go.”
