Are you an Irish, Scottish or Welsh rugby fan? Women's rugby fan wishing there was more to watch between the end of that stunning world cup and the start of the women's six nations? The Celtic Challenge competition starts this weekend!
There has been no proper marketing that we've seen in Ireland, which is a shame, cause it seems an ideal time to capitalise on the #GreenWave

Excellent start to the #CelticChallenge - #CLOvGWA was a cracking game. You can catch back up on TG4 sport. #WomensRugby continues to be a delight to attend - very pleasant chats with the fellow attendees which is mostly friends and family since there has been basically no promotion.

#WOLvEDI next - torn between cheering on the other Irish team or cheering against the half Leinster team 😋 .

(last bit of that post mostly in jest - but I had to shout loudly for Wolfhounds a few times so far for 4 reasons - 1) I'm surrounded by a vocal Edinburgh crew and genuinely worried away support louder than home, 2) Get to howl like a wolf 🐺 3) Some excellent rugby from the Wolfhounds ladies and 4) My English but half Scot fiancée is cheering for them)

Great second game if less close on the scoreboard. If you're ever going to a match in #EnergiaPark aka #Donnybrook stadium please go to the Bective Rangers side of the stadium for drinks - they're delightful and attentive, and the Old Wesley side didn't bother to open at all (disdainful to us when we asked if they were opening).
Bective hosted some IRFU people and team dinners while keeping their normal bar ready to serve the small but dedicated crowd.

Next round of #CelticChallenge and today's match should be a good one - Ireland v Ireland - #Munster and #Connacht playing together as #Clovers vs #Leinster and #Ulster playing as #Wolfhounds

#CLOvWOL - cmon the Clovers!

Twas a little far for us to go up just for the match but we'll go see a double header in Cork later this month.

A close and entertaining first half, we left far too many points behind us with our own mistakes. Second half a different story, outplayed. Few more matches to get through in this #CelticChallenge but Wolfhounds look strong. Look forward to watching next week's match on d'telly.

Round 3 of #CelticChallenge over the weekend - was out and about so only just caught up on the #Clovers match. Thankfully on the TG4 Player. Absolutely cracking match against #BrythonThunder - they're much improved from last year. Catch up watching #BRYvCLO if you can.
Great #Rugby This weekend Clovers and Wolfhounds both play in #Belfast on the 18th.

Lucky enough to be in Cork today on a cold but sunny day where Clovers yet again gave a great game. Catriona Finn a well deserved player of the match. Emily fab defense, tackling women twice her size. Faith great in both offence and defence. No hot food at the stadium was a shame we would have stuck around for Wolfhounds if there had been - a good bit better attended than the Dublin double header but still no promotion. #Rugby #Munster #Connacht #Clovers #Musgrave #WomensRugby #CelticChallenge
