The Ireland U18 Women’s side will play two 35 minute games on Day 1 of the Six Nations U18 Women’s Festival at Wellington College today.
Ireland kick off against Italy at 4pm and follow that up against England at 5pm. Both matches are live on IrishRugby+
Five players have already been capped at this level – Bronagh Boggan, Cara McLean, Emma Jane Wilson, Siofra Hession, and Erin McConalogue. Last year Ireland lost by 7 to England and beat Italy 20-0 and the experience of those five players will be key in kicking off the tournament in a positive way today. Cara McLean will captain the squad for the tournament.
