Parma pain may add 'fuel' to Ireland fire against Scotland

Ireland's record against Scotland makes the defeat suffered in last year’s World Cup qualifier even harder to stomach.

They have won 13 of their last 14 TikTok Women's Six Nations meetings with the last loss coming in the 2018 meeting in Dublin.

When Sarah Law kicked the conversion to dump Ireland out of contention for the New Zealand tournament, the ramifications were to be felt far and wide.

Senior players retired, the head coach moved on and two independent reviews, into the failure and structural issues in the women’s game in the country, were ordered.

The Irish government got involved and we should see some big changes over the next 12 months in how the sport is supported.

Only seven starters from that fateful day in Italy make today’s line-up with retirement, injury and form the reasons for the changes.
