Ireland vs Scotland, women's rugby at Aviva draws 32,000
Ireland hosted Scotland at Dublin's Aviva Stadium before roughly 32,000 spectators, and Ireland received a standing ovation off the pitch at halftime. Ireland dominated the opening 30 minutes, scoring at a rate of more than a point a minute and building a commanding lead. The crowd generated a loud, sustained atmosphere with multiple Mexican waves and chants echoing around the stadium. Some viewers complained about the BBC's television coverage, and the large attendance underscores growing interest that can drive more investment and visibility for women's rugby.
Who gives a f*ck about womens rugby? 32,000 of us do. Come on Ireland!!! #IREvSCO #Legacy
Hope the wee yin has a wonderful time!
I had zero interest in rugby until I watch the Canadian women's team play. Now I'm a fan of women's rugby. 👍
How many today will be the next Aoife, Erin, Eve or Dannah! Such a brilliant performance and occasion. So impressed at how they came out of the blocks - passion was a given today but the accuracy in that environment was so good 👏👏
Shit, i'd rather watch the wonen play than the men. They've got way more guts and heart in the game than the diva men do
Thank you for protecting your child's choice to be seen publicly on the internet!!! Not enough parents do this and it's scary what people do with children's photos
All rugby is good rugby!
Some context, as the post has broken containment. www.telegraph.co.uk/rugby-union/...
