Wall: 'It’s a very complex job and I don’t know everything yet at all, but it’s good to learn'

Dorothy Wall has said that Ireland women’s rugby head coach Scott Bemand and his backroom staff are leaving no stone unturned in their preparation for a Six Nations Championship opener against France at Stade Marie-Marvingt on Saturday week.

In addition to the work being done behind the scenes by High Performance Culture and Leadership Lead Sean Ryan - who was appointed to this role on the back of a culture and leadership review that was conducted in the wake of last year’s Six Nations campaign - the Irish squad are also expected to get a sense this week of what it will be like in the Le Mans venue on March 23.
