Since last September we have been bombarded by international rugby to the point of saturation, with Ireland playing 11 Test matches since October 24th - their return to action after the Covid-19 shutdown.
For the women’s team however, they have been starved of Test match rugby. Since their defeat to England on February 23rd they have played just once - a 21-7 victory over Italy last October.
