The scrum-half started all three of her side's games so far in the ongoing Women's Interprovincial Championship but will now travel with the famous invitational side for a fixture that will act as the curtain raiser to the Rugby Championship contest between the Springboks and All Blacks.
Former Ireland captain Claire Molloy, retired from international rugby after winning 74 gaps for her country, will also feature in the game at the DHL Stadium.
