Ecco un estratto del comunicato stampa ufficiale della IRFU:
"The Irish Rugby Football Union and Ulster Rugby are delighted to confirm that World Rugby has selected Ireland to host the Women's Rugby World Cup in August 2017 at locations in both Dublin and Belfast.
It is planned to host the tournament pool stages at University College Dublin before moving to Belfast for semi-finals and finals at Queens University Sport and Kingspan Stadium (...)
IRFU Women's Rugby Ambassador, Fiona Coghlan said, " I am delighted to be an ambassador to bring one of the world's premier women's sporting events to Ireland. The development and profile of women's sport has been fantastic in recent years and it will be a great opportunity for Ireland to showcase sport and to get more women and girls to consider taking up a team sport."
Irish Women's Rugby Captain, Niamh Briggs said,
" It is great news to hear Ireland has been successful in its bid to host the 2017 Women's Rugby Worlds Cup. It is an honour to represent your country in a World Cup, and the idea of representing your county on home turf is unbelievable. "
