Linda Djougang and Aoife Wafer set to be fit for trip to England

Ireland head coach Scott Bemand looks set to have a full squad to choose from for Saturday's Guinness Women's Six Nations meeting with England at Twickenham.

Both loosehead Linda Djougang and flanker Aoife Wafer appeared to be injury doubts after departing Saturday's 36-5 win against Wales in Cork, with Djougang looking in real distress as she left with an arm injury.

However, the Ireland coach says the pair are back training, and on track to be available for the meeting with the defending champions.

"Linda and Aoife took a bit of a bang, which left us with 14 at the end [of the Wales game]," he said.

"Rugby is a collision sport, people have been recovering well this week and both are expected to be available."

Bemand knows Saturday's opponents intimately, having spent nine years as an assistant with the Red Roses, winning the championship six times in that span.

And he says he's excited to link up with some familiar faces this weekend.

"I am looking forward to it. The nature of professional sport, your coaching environments and playing environments, you sometimes move clubs.

"Going back, I'm still pretty close with some of the coaching staff, it's been good to see them going well, but it's a great opportunity to go to Twickenham off the back of a win and see what we can do there," he (below) added.

Saturday's win against Wales was Ireland's first of the championship so far, as they produced a dominant display to end their run of 10 straight defeats in the championship.

It looks unrealistic to expect back-to-back wins at Twickenham this weekend, with England looking in a league of their own this season, scoring 140 points and conceding just 10 across their opening three wins.
