The Irish Women's Rugby side sit top of the Six Nations table this morning.

Adam Griggs' side recorded their second wins in as many games yesterday with a 31-12 victory over Wales at Energia Park in Donnybrook.

It's the first time since February 2018 Ireland have recorded back-to-back Six Nations wins.

Hooker Cliodhna Moloney said it was an important victory, particularly after losing to the Welsh in Dublin last winter; "We've had an issue with finishing games before particularly against Wales, we let it slip last November and we knew they'd be coming here here, it was very important for us to right the wrongs  of the last few times we've met them, delighted to get the win".

The statement, which was released yesterday evening, said there was an issue with the water heater in their changing room and very effort was made to resolve the problem.

They added that extra amenities were provide and thanked the team for their understanding.

Meanwhile, France followed up their victory over England in the men's competition with a 35-22 win against Italy in Paris.

The French have gone above Ireland at the summit of the table after picking up a bonus point.
