Ireland-England Rugby Encounter: Fiancee Face-Off and Team Spirit

Ireland's Cliodhna Moloney on facing England and fiancee Claudia MacDonald in Rugby.

Ireland hooker Cliodhna Moloney said that chatting with her fiancee and England scrum-half Claudia MacDonald has not been much different before the Women's Six Nations game on Saturday. Moloney is among Ireland's substitutes for the match in Cork, while MacDonald is not in England's squad. Despite the situation, they have avoided talking about the game. With their wedding coming in May, Moloney hopes the mood will be fine after the final whistle. Moloney was part of the team that suffered a heavy defeat by England last year but believes things have changed this time.
