Ireland will return to the Tik Tok Women’s Six Nations fray this Saturday re-energised and refreshed to face Italy, with two heavy defeats in the opening rounds put firmly behind them.

That is the view of assistant coach Denis Fogarty who on Tuesday spoke of the players’ resilience and their ability to see the bigger picture that a young and relatively inexperienced team is only at the start of its journey to catch up with the championship’s big guns.
