'There’s so much potential within the group' - Bemand says more to come from his Ireland team

Ireland head coach Scott Bemand reflects on a memorable day in Belfast.

SCOTT BEMAND SAID that securing qualification for next year’s World Cup in England is something that could have a transformative effect for women’s rugby within Ireland .

“There’s a lot of supporters out there that are now taking an interest in the game, that have never been able to support Irish women in a World Cup. We’re seeing it with crowds, they’ve grown. We’ve got an amazing opportunity now for these girls to show the influence they can have on the younger generations and people playing rugby.”

While their Championship rivals Wales struggled to make an impact in last year’s edition of WXV 1, Bemand welcomes the opportunity for his squad to test themselves against some of the best nations in international women’s rugby.“We’ve always said we want to try and learn faster than anybody else. This is a great opportunity to pitch ourselves against New Zealand, Canada, Australia, if that’s how it rolls out as last year,” Bemand added.
