PHILIP DOYLE: The journey to 2013 Grand Slam, *that* nightmare train to Pau, can Ireland reel in England again?

from OTB Rugby

With the 2026 Women's Six Nations kicking off this weekend, Cameron Hill spoke to former Ireland head coach Philip Doyle, who was at the helm for Ireland's one and only Grand Slam in 2013, as well as their push to the semi-finals of the 2014 Rugby World Cup.
