Marie Louise Reilly ready for charged occasion against Wales

Emotions will run high at the Cardiff Arms Park today as Wales’ women take to the field for the first time since the tragic passing of their teammate Elli Norkett late last month.

The 20-year old was killed when her car crashed on a stretch of road between Banwen and Glynneath and her Welsh colleagues will remember her by wearing jerseys embroidered with her name and other small but symbolic gestures.

Ireland’s Marie Louise Reilly knows that it will make for a difficult day for the hosts.
