Backlash to 'lazy stereotypes' in women's rugby article builds

Railway Union RFC said they “are disappointed that what could have been a hugely positive article promoting women's rugby in Ireland at time of such achievement internationally has been reduced to stereotyping.”

The club explained that they were asked “by the IRFU to facilitate a journalist from the Sunday Independent who wanted to do a training session and a feature on women's rugby in light of Ireland's world cup heroics.”
