Ireland head coach Scott Bemand says he expects Linda Djougang to be fit for their Women’s Six Nations game against England at Twickenham on Saturday.

The Ireland prop was forced off with what looked like an arm injury after 63 minutes of Ireland’s win over Wales at Musgrave Park last Saturday. Player of the match Aoife Wafer was also taken off after 74 minutes which meant Ireland finished the game with 14 players as they had used all their subs.
