Despite being in the middle of her third campaign with Ireland, Eve Higgins has admitted it remains surreal to be playing in the Women’s Six Nations.

Having featured prominently on the 7s circuit up to that point, the Lucan native made her Championship debut in 2021 - starting all three games Ireland played in a truncated edition of the tournament that took place at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic.
