On Saturday afternoon, Ireland played Scotland in a Women’s 6 Nations fixture, at the Kingspan Stadium. With Wales, having beaten Italy, in Cardiff, an Ireland victory would confirm automatic World Cup qualification.
It did not start auspiciously. From a lineout maul Scotland drove the Irish pack backwards for Elis Martin to claim the touchdown for Scotland and 5-0 lead, after only 8 minutes.
