Worcester Rugby Club's Nicola Milne has been selected for the Irish women's World Cup squad.

Milne, a teacher at Nunnery Wood High School, Worcester, is in a 26-strong squad that will travel to Barcelona next month.

The 28-year-old plays at fly-half, centre or full-back and has been an ever-present in Ireland's Six Nations Championship squad this season.

Milne's team-mates Nicky Crawford and Joanne Yapp will hope to be included in the England squad that is being selected at the end this month.
