Riverstown’s Aoife McDermott and the Donegal duo of Laura Feely and Larrisa Muldoon have all been named in the Ireland senior women’s rugby squad for the re-scheduled Six Nations matches against France and Italy in October.
Head Coach Adam Griggs has named a squad of 36 for the games, which were postponed earlier this year due to Covid-19 restrictions.
Prior to that, Ireland had beaten Scotland and Wales in their opening games before suffering a disappointing loss to England.
Ireland will host Italy in their re-scheduled Round 4 fixture on the weekend of October 24th before concluding the delayed 2020 Championship with an away trip to France on the weekend of October 31st.
The day and kick-off times for both games have still to be confirmed.
