Player Preview: Munster Women v Connacht Women

Senior players from all four provinces are looking forward to the rematches in the IRFU Women’s Interprovincial Championship semi-finals on Saturday.

Michelle Claffey and Beth Cregan shared their thoughts on the semi-final meeting of Leinster and Ulster at Monday’s official launch. Today we hear from Connacht captain Nichola Fryday and Munster co-captain Eimear Considine as the two sides prepare for the opening semi-final on Saturday afternoon.
