Fethard's Dorothy Wall is included in the Irish team to play France in the opening game of the Guinness Women’s Six Nations in Le Mans, France tomorrow.

"We have had a good block of preparation, with players returning, and we are ready to compete.
"I’m looking forward to seeing all the hard work come together on Saturday and what a place to kick start our Six Nations, in Stade Marie-Marvingt”.
