Ireland and Leinster prop Christy Haney says she could be fit to return for the Celtic challenge in December as she misses the WXV1 campaign through injury.

Haney picked up an injury in the 36-10 win over Australia earlier this month, adding her to the long list of players injured for Scott Beamand's side. "It was at the bottom of a tackle, it was a bit of an awkward one, somebody landed coming from the opposite direction. "It’s an MCL [medial collateral ligament] injury.

Of all the injuries in the knee, it’s one of the quickest rehabs so I'm looking at four to eight weeks. "100 per cent, it was bad timing for Canada but should be ready for the Celtic Challenge." Haney has been a key part of this Ireland side who been able to dramatically change their fortunes on the pitch, and pick themselves up from some very low points.

In 224, Ireland finished third in the Six Nations to qualify for the Women's World Cup next year, and followed that up with an impressive win over Australia in Belfast.
