Ireland Captain Nichola Fryday hopes her side's decision to swap their traditional white shorts for a navy alternative can ease player anxieties about periods ahead of the 2023 TikTok Women’s Six Nations.
The move has been made following feedback from players about competing in white rugby kit during their period.
Ireland are the first Home Nation to move away from white shorts and will take to the field for their TikTok Women’s Six Nations opener against Wales at Cardiff Arms Park in green and navy.
