Ireland Women completed their 12th Six Nations tournament of the modern era with a 5th place finish, their lowest finish since 2008, and only the second time they have not finished in the top three. It is also the first time they have only won one game.

The team scored thirteen tries, including one penalty try, five conversions and one penalty, to rack up 78 points, their fourth lowest points scored over the last twelve years. The 156 points conceded is their highest ever, up 170% from last season’s previous high of 92 points.

The coach used a total of 31 players throughout the tournament with 17 individuals accounting for over 80% of the minutes played. Three players, Aoife McDermott, Eimear Considine and Sene Naoupu played every minute of every game.

  1. Fed Up

    If you’re selected for a Provincial team then you MUST be playing in an AIL side. If you’re not in one then you MUST transfer. How can you be picked for a team that’s a step down from international and playing Div 1/2/3??

    The entire team needs to be dropped and everyone needs to trial. They should be picking the BEST players. Year in, year out Bohs are the top team and there are very few selected. Girls are being selected based on their previous campaigns but those same players are barely playing games so their skills are dropping.

    The focus for coaches in the AIL this year was fundamental skills. It came from the IRFU that
    Girls were getting to Irish Camp and didn’t have basic skills. Why are those players being selected then?

    It’s not your skill it’s who you know that gets you into camps.

    It’s a joke.
