Ireland edge out Scotland 15-12 to secure third place in the Women's Six Nations and qualify for the 2025 World Cup.
Ireland edged out Scotland 15-12 in a closely contested game in Belfast to finish third in the Women's Six Nations and qualify for the 2025 World Cup.
O'Brien's late penalty proved decisive as Ireland ensured progression to next year's tournament in England after missing out on the last World Cup. Ireland passed up opportunities to kick for the posts following Scotland infringements but when they opted to go for the corner their line-out was found wanting and they were unable to build an attacking platform, going in five points adrift at the interval.The home side began the second half in the best way possible as just over a minute after the restart wing Corrigan showed good pace to dive over in the right corner after accepting an off-load from Brittany Hogan.
