Beibhinn Parsons has long visualised what it will be like when she finally takes the stage for Ireland at Aviva Stadium on Sunday, the in-form wing has seen it from all angles as a supporter of the men’s national team.

Those experiences have made her relish what is to come on Sunday in the Guinness Women’s Six Nations final-round clash with Scotland, and also embrace the opportunity in Ireland’s first standalone game at the Aviva to become “10 feet tall” rather shrink to that feeling of being just 10 inches.
