IRFU chief cautious on talk of pro contracts for women's players

Kevin Potts, IRFU Chief Executive

IRFU CEO Kevin Potts has indicated that there are no guarantees of the women’s national XVs team turning professional one day.

Former captain and current assistant coach Niamh Briggs told the BBC last month that it is 100% certain that the women’s game will eventually turn pro and the independent report released yesterday suggested the introduction of hybrid or retainer contracts.
