About the match
Aviva hosts and the IRFU have been pushing Women's Tests into the big stadium for the warm-weather rounds — last year they pulled 35,000 against France. Scotland have nicked a result in this fixture in the recent past and Helen Nelson at 10 has been the most consistent Six Nations playmaker outside England. Ireland will likely be playing for third — the new women's pro contracts are showing up in defensive line speed but the attack still depends on Beibhinn Parsons getting the ball in space. A bonus-point win here probably nudges Ireland into Champions Cup-style WXV1 qualification math; Scotland want a scalp on tour. Sunday afternoon, Aviva sun, decent neutral watch.
