The IRFU has announced the appointment of eight new Women's National Talent Squad (WNTS) Pathway staff to be based at five Provincial Centre of Excellence hubs. This is part of a further investment and commitment to developing and inspiring a new generation of talent.

Another significant announcement for the women's game in Ireland is the appointment of an Athletic Performance Coach and Pathway Talent Coach to the four provinces. These appointments have come from the recommendations of the IRFU's Women in Rugby Report which was published last December.
