There’s hugely disappointing news for Fethard’s Dorothy Wall.
The Irish international will miss the upcoming Women’s Rugby World Cup through injury.
The IRFU have confirmed that the second rower will undergo surgery in Dublin today on an Achilles tendon issue that she suffered in last weekend’s Six Nations loss to Scotland.
The 24-year-old is expected to be out for a number of months, with the World Cup getting underway on August 22nd.
The IRFU’s stated reads: “The IRFU can today confirm that Ireland forward Dorothy Wall will be sidelined for a number of months after sustaining an Achilles tendon injury during last weekend’s Guinness Women’s Six Nations clash against Scotland in Edinburgh.
“Wall will undergo surgery in Dublin today and the recovery and rehabilitation process will rule the 24-year-old out of Ireland’s pre-season and Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025 campaign later this year.”
Wall added in a statement: “I’m devastated to be missing the next couple of months, but my main focus now is on my rehab programme and I’m looking forward to supporting the team in the Rugby World Cup.”
