Summary
- 25-year-old Ireland forward Dorothy Wall to return for Exeter
- Wall ruptured Achilles tendon during Six Nations, missed World Cup
- Exeter head coach Salvin calls Wall "phenomenal player" and top performer
As of November 14th, 2025, Exeter boss Steve Salvin is eagerly anticipating the return of Ireland forward Dorothy Wall to the team's lineup. The 25-year-old, who was among Exeter's top three players last season, has been sidelined since rupturing her Achilles tendon during the Six Nations earlier this year, causing her to miss the World Cup.
Salvin has praised Wall as a "phenomenal player" who is "very, very driven" and excels as a ball carrier and defender. Despite being unable to play, Wall has remained heavily involved with the team, influencing her teammates through her dedicated recovery process and contributing to game preparations, particularly around the set piece.
Now ahead of schedule in her recovery, Wall is set to make her long-awaited comeback when Exeter faces off against Harlequins in their upcoming Premiership Women's Rugby match. Salvin is confident that Wall's return will provide a significant boost to the team as they look to build on their strong performance last season.
