From Underage Success To The Big Stage

Episode 18 of The Women’s Rugby Podcast on FinalWhistle returns for a full deep dive into the Women’s Six Nations, with Ireland v Scotland front and centre this weekend, alongside a look back on the success of the Ireland U21s campaign.

Hosted by Diarmuid Kearney, alongside Aimee Clarke (Railway Union) and Stacy Hanley (Galwegians), the panel brings player insight, tactical analysis, and press-box perspective to another landmark week for women’s rugby in Ireland.

The trio break down Ireland’s Six Nations clash with Wales, before turning attention to Sunday’s meeting with Scotland at the Aviva Stadium, a history-making occasion for the women’s game in Ireland, with more than 28,000 tickets sold for the fixture.

Attention also turns to the Ireland U21s, who completed a clean sweep in their campaign. The panel reflects on the dramatic one-point victory away to England, followed by the win over Wales, and what the performances say about the continued growth of the underage pathway in Irish rugby.
