Katie Whelan has been called into the Ireland rugby squad ahead of their final match at the WXV1 against the United States in Vancouver on Friday.
The Leinster scrum half joined the squad as cover for Katie Heffernan, who has been forced to leave the camp with an arm injury.
Ireland lost to Canada last weekend, but beat New Zealand in their opening match on the weekend before last.

His Leinster team-mate James Culhane will captain the team and forms a new back-row alongside Harry Sheridan and Sean Edogbo.
Zac Ward is named in a back three, which also includes Ben O’Connor and Andrew Osborne.
