Ireland international's knee tear came during an England mauling that provided a lot of wake-up calls. The teacher hopes lessons are learned

The difference can be in the little things, which can often add up to something big. For Eimear Considine, that was made clear following Ireland’s recent 69-0 mauling by England in the Women’s Six Nations.

That was the game in which Considine’s campaign ended, an MCL tear in her knee diagnosed the following day. A day after that, the full-time teacher was back at work, hobbling around St. Mary’s secondary school in Glasnevin.
