Ireland forward Aoife Wafer has been named the Women’s Six Nations Player of the Championship for 2025.<\/b><\/p>\n

The back row earned 41% of a fans’ vote, edging out France second row Manae Feleu by just 333 votes.<\/p>\n

The other players on the four-woman shortlist were England wing Abby Dow and Scotland back row Evie Gallagher, and over 18,500 votes were cast.<\/p>\n

Wafer finished as the joint second-highest try scorer in the Six Nations with four – matching the most by any forward in the tournament.<\/p>\n

That took her tally to 12 tries in 15 caps for Ireland.<\/p>\n

In addition, she made 70 carries, the most by any player, covering 424.7 metres and beating 17 defenders – the second-highest total for a forward.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old’s performances helped Ireland secure third place in the competition.<\/p>\n

Wafer was also named on the team of the tournament alongside team-mates Neve Jones and Aoife Dalton.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
