The Black Ferns open their WXV1 campaign with their first match against Ireland since 2016. Co-captain Ruahei Demant will shift back to the No 10 jersey after the side's 24-12 loss to England a fortnight ago, alongside midfielders Amy du Plessis and Logo-i-Pulotu Lemapu-Atai'i (Sylvia) Brunt. Kick-off is at 3pm NZT.
