The Irish women’s rugby team played their first match of the top-tier WXV1 last night and came away with a 29-27 win over the Black Ferns (currently world #2s.)
Last season Ireland was playing international rugby in the third division against teams like Kazakhstan and Colombia, so this is a massive result and huge vindication for the players’ hard work.

This is great news, but they really need to market the women’s team better. I follow rugby, and this is the first time I’m seeing “wxv1”. That could literally mean anything to someone who isn’t familiar with it. It looks like a name Elon Musk would come up with. Also, the games themselves are barely advertised either. I’d have watched that if I knew it was on.
