Scotland v Ireland

Fans have enjoyed some amazing games between these two teams over the last few years, with the game being won by four points or less in five of the last seven encounters .

The last time Ireland came to Hive Stadium Scotland won in style in front of what was then a record crowd. (This crowd record was broken this year, first for the game against France which was followed by the sell-out against England.) Ireland narrowly beat Scotland 15-12 in the final game of this year’s Guinness Women’s Six Nations to edge the Scots into fourth place in the championship table. Expect another thriller at Hive next year!

Bryan Easson’s side progressed to the RWC for the first time since 2010.
