Assessment
It was a disappointing Six Nations for Ireland.
They finished fifth, which is the worst finish since 2006.
The only bright point of this Championship was that we can see young players that have potential coming through. The likes of Parsons and Breen give me hope that we have players in the country who are athletic and skilful but they need to learn the game.
Without doubt there has definitely been more activation with girls in clubs and schools at a younger age and hopefully we will see the benefits of this as these players transition to adult level.
However, questions do need to be asked why, with more money gone into Women’s Rugby in the last four years, that we are seeing a gradual decline in performances and now results at international level.
