‘Give it a chance’ – Irish women’s rugby will pay for itself if the IRFU starts properly funding it now, according to a former international. FiHayes27 on TheHardShoulder

this evening, former international Fiona Hayes said he ‘100% welcomes the apology”.

“There is a slight bit of disappointment that the full report wasn’t published but I know they have given reasons behind that and to me, it says that really there were a lot of things going on behind the scenes that can’t really be talked about due to data protection.”She said the team has experienced a massive decline since 2014 – noting that the incident that annoyed her most was when the IRFU advertised for apart-time coach a few years ago.

“People probably didn’t perform. Things didn’t fall into place and it was almost like the IRFU took a step back and said, look we won’t look at the 15’s game as hard and we’ll focus on the 7’s and the Olympics.”She said the women’s game can get to a stage where it pays for itself with the right investment now.
