Six Nations: Ireland secures a 15-12 win over Scotland
The Irish women’s team has triumphed over Scotland in the Six Nations, thereby ensuring their berth in the upcoming World Cup. Just a year prior, in 2021, a loss against the same team in the qualifiers resulted in Ireland not participating in the most recent World Cup.
The victory in Belfast hinged on a penalty in the second half by Dannah O’Brien, the flyhalf, which nudged Ireland into a slim three-point lead. Notable contributions came from substitutes Katie Corrigan and Clíodhna Moloney, who countered with tries of their own after Scotland racked up the early points and maintained the lead for the majority of the game. More details to be reported in due course.
