Enya Breen Captains Ireland Against Canada

Enya Breen will captain Ireland for the first time in their WXV1 match against Canada after regular captain Edel McMahon was ruled out due to an injury. Head coach Scott Bemand has made four changes to the starting lineup following Ireland's opening victory over New Zealand. Key changes include Emily Lane making her first Test start at scrum-half, and Erin King, who scored two tries against the Black Ferns, starting at blindside flanker. The back three remains unchanged while Eve Higgins joins Breen in the midfield. Bemand expressed confidence in the team's momentum and readiness to face the strong Canadian side. Following this match, Ireland will conclude their campaign against the USA next weekend.
