I was one of the few that were in the stadium in 2014 when the Irish women last played there," she said. "To remember those moments of post-game, interacting with the players and the good win they had that day too, it stood with me forever and now it's nearly a full-circle moment to get out on to the pitch myself, so I'm very grateful to get the opportunity."You can't let your mind slip into the massive occasion it's going to be because Scotland are a class side and if you let them into the game, they'll take a lot from you."Enjoying rugby has made me play better - Moloney-MacDonaldPublished17 hours agoScotland can 'really turn it on when it matters' - KingPublished1 day agoIreland want clean sweep of home wins - ParsonsPublished2 days agoWafer striving to be more 'dominant' in attack and defenceImage source, InphoImage caption, Wafer was named player of the match in Ireland's bonus-point win over WalesWafer, who was named 2025 Women's Six...المصدر: BBC Sport | Source: BBC Sport
