Doyle goes with form for Scots clash

Irish coach Philip Doyle has gone with form ahead of tomorrow night’s Six Nations opener against Scotland in Ashbourne RFC (7.30pm).

Last year’s top scorer Niamh Briggs will be on the bench, while Hannah Casey of Saracens will make her international debut.

“We’ve gone with a little bit of youth and experience, and form too has played its part in selection,” said Doyle yesterday.
