Cliodhna Moloney believes Ireland can redeem themselves following a heavy defeat to France last Saturday and finish the 2021 Women’s Six Nations on a high this weekend by claiming third place at Italy’s expense.

Adam Griggs’ side had been riding high going into the French game at Dublin’s Energia Park following a 45-0 opening-round win over Wales in Cardiff seven days previously but the visitors’ semi-professional status soon told against Ireland’s amateurs with France progressing to this Saturday’s final against England on the back of a resounding 56-15 win.
