IRFU’s progressive action plan targets one in five quota for women

When the IRFU established an independent review group to evaluate the women’s game in Ireland and formulate a strategy to take it into the next five years, it had more than just the success of the national team in mind.

The Women in Rugby Action Plan 2018-2023, published today, has ambitious objectives, not just at the high-performance level but on each rung of the ladder from grassroots up in order to grow the game and get more females involved in the sport, both in the women’s and men’s leadership structures.
