Former Cork dual player Claire Keohane gets first Ireland start at fly-half
Youghal-native Claire Keohane will make her first Ireland start at fly-half in Sunday's Women’s Six Nations game against Wales.
The inter-county camogie and ladies footballer turned rugby star made her international debut as a replacement last week, and takes over from Ellen Murphy, who suffered a calf injury in the win over Scotland.
Adam Griggs makes three changes in all, with Eimear Considine returning from injury to make her first start of the tournament.
The Clare-native takes over at full-back as Lauren Delany moves to the wing, with Aoife Doyle named on the bench.
Judy Bobbett will make her Six Nations debut in the second-row, taking over from Nichola Fryday, while captain Ciara Griffin continues in the back-row.
Speaking in Friday's Examiner, Keohane said: “Is it the most important position on the field? I would more so argue that the players around you, as a ten, make you look better than you are.
“It is about everyone being on the same page. We’ve such clarity in our roles at the moment and you could see it in the first half against Scotland,” Keohane explained.
