Mike Ross appointed scrum coach for the Ireland women’s side ahead of the Six Nations

This is a big boost.

Former Ireland prop Mike Ross has been confirmed as the new scrum coach for the Ireland women's rugby team as they continue preparations for the upcoming Six Nations campaign. The 38-year-old Cork native established himself as a player with considerable expertise in the scrum during a career that yielded two Six Nations titles with Ireland as well as two Heineken Cups, a Challenge Cup and two PRO12 titles with Leinster. With 61 international caps as a tighthead prop, Ross will bring a wealth of experience to the coaching ticket. https://twitter.com/patmccarry/status/950408220765540357
