Bemand has named an unchanged backline with Stacey Flood, Beibhinn Parsons and Robyn O’Connor the back three.
In midfield, Eve Higgins and Aoife Dalton start as Emily Lane partners Dannah O’Brien at half-back.
In the front row, Ellena Perry, Cliodhna Moloney-MacDonald and Linda Djougang all are set to register their fifth consecutive start this Championship, with Monaghan coming in to join Fiona Tuite.
After scoring two tries against Wales, Brittany Hogan is selected at flanker, captain Erin King remains at openside and Aoife Wafer will wear the number eight jersey.
On the bench, Bemand has reverted to a 5:3 split with forwards Neve Jones, Sadhbh McGrath, Eilis Cahill, Dorothy Wall and Ruth Campbell on the bench alongside backs Katie Whelan, Vicky Elmes Kinlan and Niamh Gallagher.
“We’re pretty well stocked,” Bemand continued.
“We’ve gone back to a 5:3 this week and that’s because of how we think the game will go.
“We’re desperate to see Vicky Elms-Kinlan come on and bring her power game to the party. We’re well stocked in that.”
