The IRFU has confirmed that Meath GAA star Vikki Wall has been part of the union’s Women’s sevens programme in recent months and that she will make her on-field debut later this year as she chases her Olympic dream.

And Gillian McDarby, the IRFU’s head of women’s performance and pathways, has explained that the code will be pushing on with its efforts to attract more Gaelic players to their banner.
