Dorothy Wall will miss Ireland's Women's Rugby World Cup campaign later this year after undergoing surgery on her Achilles tendon, the IRFU have confirmed.

Wall suffered the injury during Ireland's narrow defeat away to Scotland in the Six Nations last weekend and the forward underwent surgery to repair the issue on Wednesday.

And the IRFU have announced that they believe she is set to be ruled out for a number of months.

A statement released on Wednesday reads: "The IRFU can today confirm that Ireland forward Dorothy Wall will be sidelined for a number of months after sustaining an Achilles tendon injury during last weekend's Guinness Women's Six Nations clash against Scotland in Edinburgh.

"Wall will undergo surgery in Dublin today and the recovery and rehabilitation process will rule the 24-year-old out of Ireland's pre-season and Women's Rugby World Cup 2025 campaign later this year."

Wall added: "I'm devastated to be missing the next couple of months, but my main focus now is on my rehab programme and I'm looking forward to supporting the team in the Rugby World Cup."
