IRELAND HAVE PICKED up their first win of the Women’s Six Nations after a bonus-point victory against Italy.
Anna McGann scored a hat-trick, while Aoife Dalton, Amee-Leigh Costigan, Linda Djougang and Brittany Hogan all got their names on the scoresheet. The result puts Ireland third on the table and sends them into a rest week before preparing for England’s visit to Cork on 12 April.
