Irish Rugby TV: Mary Quinn On The Women In Rugby Action Plan

Irish Rugby TV got the thoughts of Mary Quinn, Chair of the IRFU Women’s Sub-Committee, on the IRFU’s Women In Rugby Action Plan that sets targets for increasing the levels of female participation in rugby.

Speaking about the Union’s newly-launched five-year Women In Rugby Action plan, Mary Quinn said: “We aim to create a structured pathway which attracts young female players to club rugby where they can progress their rugby careers through Under-14, Under-16 and Under-18 levels towards the senior Women’s game. 

“In schools we are committed to creating opportunities for female students to experience rugby through an XRugby7s and Sevens pathway. 
 
“Increased participation through a quality player development pathway that enables players to achieve their full potential. This, in turn, will support an increased flow of talent through the Women’s All-Ireland League and provincial panels into national squads.”
