Ireland Women Aim for Strong Finish in Six Nations Against Scotland

Ireland's women's rugby team is poised to secure third place in the Women's Six Nations with just one point needed from their final match against Scotland, following strong away wins over Italy and Wales. Despite frustration over errors in the 40-14 win against Wales, coaches and players are focused on finishing the tournament on a high note to build momentum ahead of the upcoming World Cup. Scrum coach Denis Fogarty highlighted the team's growth and resilience, emphasizing that the squad is energized rather than exhausted, and determined to correct mistakes from the previous game. While most players are fit, wing Beibhinn Parsons will remain sidelined due to injury, but prop Niamh O'Dowd is set to return. The team aims to demonstrate continued progress by closing the gap on top teams England and France, maintaining elevated expectations for their performance. This final match also serves as a key preparation point for Ireland's World Cup campaign later this year.
