The Irish women's rugby team are back in action as they look to start afresh with their tour of Japan.
The recent history of the women's game in Ireland has been dogged by mismanagement from the IRFU which has resulted in an overhaul with a new position created solely to look after the women's game here rather than also splitting that responsibility with the men's sevens too.
Gillian McDarby now fills that particular role which was under the remit of Anthony Eddy until his resignation last year.
