Ireland Women's Head coach Tom Tierney predicts bright future despite England defeat

Women’s International

A late England try from Izzy Noel-Smith consigned Ireland, who named six uncapped players in their starting XV, to defeat in an historic first Autumn International match.

The defeat means Ireland are still seeking a first away win against the Red Roses, having beaten them at home in both 2013 and earlier this year en route to Six Nations glory.
