Ireland scrum-half Kathryn Dane has revealed that she suffered a brain haemorrhage during national team training in Dublin.
"Three months ago I suffered a brain haemorrhage at Ireland training," said the 26-year-old Ulster player.
"Luckily the IRFU medical team were close at hand to respond immediately and get me the care I needed.
"Thank you to the IRFU, Connolly and Beaumont hospitals, Rugby Players Ireland and my family and friends for the love and support.
"I hope to make a full recovery and return to work and rugby, but it will take some time. For now I will be Ireland's biggest fan."
"We're all behind you as you make your way back to full health, Kathryn Dane, we hope to see you back in a green jersey again soon!" the IRFU tweeted.
Co Fermanagh native Dane, who works as a physiotherapist, has 23 Ireland caps and plays club rugby with Old Belvedere.
