Women's rugby Cokayne to miss Six Nations clash with Ireland

ENGLAND hooker Amy Cokayne will miss the Women’s Six Nations clash with Ireland on Saturday following her sending-off against Scotland.

The Red Roses completed the final 25 minutes of their 46-0 victory in Edinburgh with only 14 players after Cokayne received her second yellow card, resulting in her dismissal.

The first offence was a dangerous clear out and the second a dangerous tackle, with a disciplinary committee awarding a two-match suspension that was reduced to one because of mitigation.

Cokayne, who was making her first appearance for 12 months after recovering from a calf injury, will return for the probable Grand Slam decider against France on Saturday week.
