Ireland women's rugby change of shorts colour to ease stress over periods

Ireland Women's team will be wearing navy shorts for this year's TikTok Six Nations in a historic permanent move away from white shorts. The move is led by kit supplier Canterbury following feedback from players about anxieties around periods.

Team captain Nichola Fryday will be wearing the new navy shorts for the first time at the TikTok Women's Six Nations launch tomorrow.
