Report
Ireland’s best ever performances in the Women’s Six Nations Rugby came when winning the Championship in 2013 and 2015. In 2013 Ireland won all five matches finishing four points ahead of both France and England. The 2015 Championship was the most competitive, with four points separating the top five countries, Ireland winning on points difference from France after both finished on 8 points. Ireland had been steadily improving, having finished fourth in both 2007 and 2008, the Irish Women then came third four years running from 2009 to 2012 before their big triumph in 2013. In 2014 it was back to third, and again in 2016 after victory in the 2015 Championship. Try and Losing Bonus Bonus Points were brought in from 2017 onwards, with double the amount of points for a win or draw.
