Ireland flanker Dorothy Wall has been ruled out of the 2025 Women’s Rugby World Cup with an Achilles tendon injury.

Wall, 24, sustained the injury during Ireland’s final Women’s Six Nations game against Scotland last weekend.

“I’m devastated to be missing the next couple of months, but my main focus now is on my rehab programme and I’m looking forward to supporting the team in the Rugby World Cup,” said Wall.

Wall’s injury is another significant blow for Ireland after back row Erin King was ruled out of the tournament with a serious knee injury earlier this month.

The 2025 World Cup takes place in England between 22 August and 27 September.

Ireland, who finished third in the Six Nations, will face Japan, Spain and New Zealand in the pool stage.
