The IRFU has placed women’s rugby in Ireland front and centre in its latest four-year Strategic Plan and CEO Kevin Potts is looking at an immediate window of opportunity to grow the female game over the next 18 months.

Thursday’s publication of “Rugby in Ireland 2024-2028: Inspire, Connect, Thrive” moved away from setting tangible targets as both Potts and new Performance Director David Humphreys admitted previous plans set targets that were not met.
