Fly-half Hannah Tyrrell has revealed her planned wedding on Friday was postponed after helping Ireland to a 45-0 victory over Wales in the Six Nations.

"I was supposed to get married (on Friday) but Covid put an end to that so we pushed it back," said Tyrrell.

"I'm now here doing what I love with my team-mates, what else could I ask for?"

The match was Ireland's first fixture in six months and Sene Naoupu, Dorothy Wall and Tyrrell added to first-half doubles from Eimear Considine and Beibhinn Parsons as Adam Griggs' side set-up a Pool B shootout with France in Dublin on Saturday.

The winner of the decider will face England in the final of the new, condensed format for the Women's Six Nations.

"We waited a long time to play this game and it has been a long six months for us. We've been working hard so it is nice to reap the rewards and get a few points on the board," added Tyrrell.

"We were raring to go. It was a long wait to play today and we got the nerves out in the first few minutes.

"We're always looking to play games and we know France will be a tough challenge."

Head coach Griggs said Ireland's first-half display was "outstanding" and that he was delighted for his players after waiting six months for the match.

"We wanted to play with ambition and that happened. The second-half got a bit scrappy but that can happen when you build-up a bit of a lead and some of our core skills let us down there, but as a coaching group it's always good to have something to work on."

Griggs also praised Ireland's fast start, which saw them build up a 31-point lead in the opening 27 minutes at Arms Park.

"I think that was coming from not playing for so long, we were so eager to get out there and I was so pleased to see the things that we had trained come off," he added.

"The second-half showed we hadn't played in six months but look, we're really happy and it's not every day that you score 45 points in a match."
