IRFU’s Head of Women’s Development, Amanda Greensmith, shared her excitement about the initiative, emphasising the importance of inclusive and accessible learning opportunities for rugby enthusiasts, “Over the past number of seasons we have seen continual growth in the girls game due to programs like GIAT. We hope that this workshop will help to encourage more people to get involved with their clubs regardless of their experience in the game. With the 6 Nations over the last couple of week and as we head into a very exciting summer leading to WRWC 2025 there has never been a better time for people to Give It A Try with their local clubs.”
The session will be led by Colm Finnegan, IRFU National Rugby Development Manager, who highlighted the significance of breaking down barriers in the sport. “We want to create a welcoming space for everyone – whether as a player, parent, supporter, or volunteer. This webinar is a key step in making rugby more accessible by allowing people to ask any questions they have in a supportive environment.”
