Tom Tierney shuffles the pack again

The best case scenario for Ireland’s women is a third-place finish in the RBS 6 Nations, even if they beat Scotland by a hefty score at Donnybrook tomorrow (1pm).

Tom Tierney’s Aon-sponsored side has already relinquished their title and will be hoping to maintain their position just above Wales on points difference.

It has been a year of transition for Ireland, with no less than 14 new caps introduced throughout the season. Tierney sees that as a positive despite losing both away games to France (6-18) and England (9-13).
