IRELAND INTERNATIONAL ANNA Caplice has signed for Gloucester-Hartpury, the English side have confirmed.
Caplice spent the last two years with Harlequins after moving from Richmond, before relocating to Dublin earlier this year, and featured for Munster in the recent women’s inter-provincial series.
The flanker will hope the move to Gloucester will boost her international chances having fallen down the pecking order over the last year.

Caplice has 14 Ireland caps to her name, but hasn’t been capped since the 2020 Six Nations and didn’t make the squad for the ongoing Rugby World Cup Europe Qualifier tournament, with head coach Adam Griggs outlining that the Cork native had “missed out through performance.”
