It took a length of the field interception from Beibhinn Parsons to give Ireland victory against Scotland in the Women's Six Nations at Energia Park this afternoon. Scotland earned the tonic of a try by centre Lisa Thomson, converted by Helen Nelson for 13-7 on half-time. Gradually, the visitors took hold of the territory, forcing Ireland into defensive mode for most of the third quarter, losing the battle on the gain line. It took the opportunism and athleticism of Parsons to break that stranglehold, going the length for a try against the run-of-play in the 67th minute.
