Women's Rugby World Cup warm-up: Ireland v Scotland - watch from 13:50 BST
Update: Date: 13:38 BST Title: Monaghan wants to 'savour every moment' Content: Ireland v Scotland (14:00 BST) Speaking of Sam Monaghan, the Ireland skipper says she will "savour every moment" of her return from injury after 13 months on the sidelines. "It was really emotional seeing my name on the team-sheet again, not only for me but for my family, team-mates, everyone that's been on the journey with me, physios, S&Cs," said Monaghan. "You build up a hunger. It's kind of like you've been starving for the last 13 months and you finally get your opportunity. "I'm sure I'll really savour every moment and just want to do the best I can for the squad around me. "They've really looked after me the last year so I'll be extremely excited to get back out on the pitch with them." Update: Date: 13:34 BST Title: Ireland team news - Captain Monaghan returns Content: Ireland v Scotland (14:00 BST) Sam Monaghan and Beibhinn Parsons are back in the Ireland line-up today Ireland captain Sam Monaghan returns to international duty this afternoon after 13 months out with a serious knee injury. The Gloucester-Hartpury lock has been out of action since June 2024, with calf and hamstring injuries delaying her comeback. Beibhinn Parsons provides another boost with the wing back in the side after missing the Six Nations because of a broken leg. Eimear Corri-Fallon, who joins Monaghan in the second row, also returns after 12 months out. There are three uncapped players in the squad with back row Ivana Kiripati and centre Nancy McGillivray set to win first caps from the start, while Ailish Quinn will do so if called upon as a replacement. In what is a six-two split on the bench, there is plenty of forward experience around Quinn with Neve Jones, Niamh O'Dowd, Linda Djougang, Fiona Tuite and Deirbhile Nic a Bhaird also held in reserve. Ireland are without key forwards Dorothy Wall and Erin King, who will miss the World Cup. Star back row Aoife Wafer is not involved today, but has not given up hope of featuring in the tournament. Ireland: Meabh Deely; Beibhinn Parsons, Nancy McGillivray, Eve Higgins, Amee-Leigh Costigan; Dannah O'Brien, Molly Scuffil-McCabe; Siobhan McCarthy, Cliodhna Moloney-MacDonald, Sadhbh McGrath, Eimear Corri-Fallon, Sam Monaghan (capt), Grace Moore, Ivana Kiripati, Brittany Hogan. Replacements: Neve Jones, Niamh O'Dowd, Linda Djougang, Fiona Tuite, Deirbhile Nic a Bhaird, Ailish Quinn, Emily Lane, Enya Breen. Update: Date: 13:25 BST Title: Stage set in Cork Content: Ireland v Scotland (14:00 BST) The World Cup is nearly upon us! With just three weeks to go before the tournament in England begins, Ireland and Scotland meet in a warm-up match in Cork. It should be a tight encounter between the Six Nations rivals. We're glad to have you with us.

Australia vs British & Irish Lions LIVE SCORE: Match SUSPENDED due to lightning after Ryan suffers horrific injury
Tadhg Furlong After starting every test match in his first two tours [2017 & 2021], he makes his ninth consecutive test start in this game, which levels him with Alun Wyn Jones' professional-era record. The Leinster and Ireland tighthead has long been a cornerstone of the scrum and a consistent presence throughout his career, fully deserving this accolade.

Andy Farrell is wrong to obsess over the Lions ‘redwashing' the Australia Test matches
Am I alone in being disappointed that British and Irish Lions head coach Andy Farrell is sending out virtually the same team for the third Test against Australia as the one that won last week's second, for the supposed sacred prize of a 3-0 clean sweep of Test matches? I don't believe most British rugby fans are as obsessed with that as Farrell. He appears to think a 'redwash,' as it has been called by some after the Lions' red shirts, over Australia, will elevate him and his Lions to the status of South African Springbok or New Zealand All Black conquerors. It won't. It is true, it would be the Lions first clean sweep for nearly a century. But this Australian team is, frankly, regarded as a team of second-raters by many rugby critics. There are other reasons why I think Farrell could and should have taken a more, let's say, imaginative approach. What about the other 20 or so members of his huge squad, who have seen little meaningful action for half the five-week tour? What about the notion of the Lions being a more noble cause than conventional national teams? Players on Lions tours often talk about the unique all-for-one and one-for-all spirit the tours inspire. Now it looks more like all for one: the one being Andy Farrell, who says it would 'mean the world' for the Lions to win all three Tests. He has already appeared self-serving by calling up his son Owen Farrell to join the tour halfway through, despite Farrell Jr being woefully out of form. The pair risk resembling mercenaries, not Musketeers. If Andy Farrell wants to show his Lions are a cut above the Aussies, let him prove it by beating them with a team made up of all those who have been left idle on the sidelines. It is not unusual for the Lions to do this in the last Test when the overall series result is already decided. It is not just about fairness and sentiment: one or two Lions who played last week, and who have been selected again, Tom Curry and Bundee Ali, for example, look physically shattered and would benefit from a break. And Farrell's reservoir of untapped reserves is flooded with talent: the precocious Henry Pollock, an overnight star in Australia despite not being picked for any of the Tests, and the exciting young English backs Finn Smith and Marcus Smith. They must be kicking lumps out of their hotel room doors in frustration. If Farrell gave his Lions also-rans a run out in the third Test, they would be sure to give their all, if only to prove why they should have been picked in the first place. They would also be free to put on a swashbuckling Barbarians-type performance, thrilling all. If they won – fantastic. If they lost, it would not be the end of the world. Everyone, England and Aussie fans alike, would have seen a match to remember. The Lions tour will be marked up in history as a victory anyway – and they would be lauded as Corinthians in a sporting world of cynics.
