When the regional aeroplane that included the Ireland squad landed in Edinburgh Airport on Thursday, the flight attendant proudly announced to those on board that they had arrived on schedule.
Air miles have been part of the Ireland itinerary this season, with six of their nine games away from home. They travelled to Canada for the WXV1 competition last autumn and then flew to Parma, Cardiff and Edinburgh in this Women’s Six Nations campaign. But such is sport that when it looks like you’ve arrived, it turns out there’s still a way to travel.
