- Ireland become first home nation to announce switch
- ‘It’s a big step,’ says Ireland centre Enya Breen
The Ireland women’s rugby team will wear navy shorts in this year’s Six Nations, becoming the first home nations team to announce a change from their traditional white shorts over period concerns.
Ireland, who begin their Six Nations campaign with a visit to Wales on 25 March, have made the move in response to players’ feedback about period anxieties.
