Ireland out-half Stacey Flood is hoping that the professional setup adopted for the national women’s team can be repeated all the way down the women’s pyramid in the wake of the embarrassing controversy over changing conditions at a recent interpro.

The Connacht women’s team has asked that an investigation be carried out after they had to change beside bins at Donnybrook’s Energia Park ahead of their game against Ulster last weekend.
