Joining her in this notable accomplishment is Dannah O’Brien, marking a significant moment for both players as they embark on this prestigious journey for the first time.
The announcement follows their outstanding contributions as part of the Wolfhounds squad, which secured a memorable victory in the Celtic Challenge Cup this past Saturday.
What adds a unique layer to this achievement is the history shared by the two players. Before donning the national colors, Katie Corrigan and Dannah O’Brien were teammates on the same Tullow team. Now, they find themselves once again united, this time as teammates at Old Belvedere, reinforcing the bonds forged on the field in their earlier playing days.
Katie Corrigan and Dannah O’Brien’s journey from local teammates to representing Ireland is a testament to the growth and development of women’s rugby, inspiring the next generation of players and enthusiasts alike.
Wishing them the very best as they proudly represent Ireland in the Women’s Six Nations tournament.
