Alanna Fitzpatrick, Isobel Clerk and Koren Dunne have been selected.

Three midlands clubs are represented in the Ireland U-18 squad for the upcoming Six Nations. 

Portarlington's Alanna Fitzpatrick, Isobel Clerk of Mullingar RFC and Koren Dunne from Portlaoise RFC have been included in the final 26-strong squad. 

Ireland will play 35-minute matches against England and France on April 9th, before playing a full 70-minute contest against Wales four days later. 

Katie Fitzhenry, IRFU Women’s performance pathway coach, commented:

'Over the past few weeks we have seen this group grow and meet each challenge the coaching group have set for them. They are a credit to their clubs and provincial coaches.

“The Six Nations Festival will be another great development marker in their young playing careers as the format ensures that each performance is a chance to learn and get better.

“It is a proud moment to pull on a green jersey for the first time and I am sure it will just as special for this group.”
