Ireland denied as Women’s tie abandoned

Ireland’s icy weather conditions took their toll last night as the Women’s RBS 6 Nations opener against Wales was abandoned due to a frozen pitch at Ashbourne RFC.

The decision was taken at half-time with Ireland leading 10-3.

The hosts had most of the pressure in the opening quarter and the large home support certainly weren’t disappointed when Ailson Miller delivered a 18th minute try after a superb run.
