The newly-appointed Leinster Rugby head coach Tania Rosser has announced an extended training squad ahead of the Vodafone Women’s Interprovincial Series.
It includes Tullow’s Dannah O’Brien who will join up with the squad on Wednesday, 23 March in the Ken Wall Centre of Excellence in Energia Park.
While there has been no date released, as of yet, for the 2022 Vodafone Women’s Interprovincial Series, the players will steadily build from their performance throughout the season and grow as a group, in anticipation of the start of the competition in late summer.
Once details of the competition are released the extended squad will be reduced and the 2022 Leinster Rugby Women’s squad will be announced.
Players involved with the Ireland women’s squad will not be available for selection ahead of their World Cup qualifiers.
