Maeve Óg O’Leary is confident that the Ireland women’s rugby team are capable of dealing with a major challenge from Wales in their Six Nations Championship opener at Cardiff Arms Park this Saturday (kick-off 2.15pm).

At the beginning of the 2022 edition of the competition, Ireland - in their first game under the stewardship of head coach Greg McWilliams - lost out to the Welsh on a scoreline of 27-19 at the RDS.
