The Irish Rugby Football Union are saddened to hear of the passing of Clare Hoppe after a long battle with cancer.
Clare was a member of the first ever Ireland Women’s team and featured in the first international, against Scotland.
The IRFU were delighted to host Clare and her team mates at a cap ceremony in 2018.
We would like to offer our condolences to Clare’s family, friends and team mates.
