DESPITE THEIR DISAPPOINTMENT against England last time out in the Six Nations, Ireland Woman are still in a good position to go on and win the championship.

They will make history this Saturday regardless of the result against Italy, as it’s the first time a women’s international will be hosted at the Aviva Stadium. The game kicks-off at 5.00pm, after the men’s fixture against the Italians.

TheScore.ie columnist Nora Stapleton, who features in the video above, has already expressed the team’s gratitude for the support they have received this season. The hope now is that the recent increase in interest in women’s rugby is illustrated by a big crowd in Dublin on Saturday evening.
