It was never a case of if Niamh O’Dowd would one day play in Premiership Women’s Rugby. It was a case of when.
Ireland Women face off against USA Women in Women's Internationals Round 1 on Fri 12th November 2021 at RDS Arena. Kick-off in the UK is scheduled for 19:15. In South Africa it’s at 21:15 SAST, 08:15 NZST in New Zealand, 06:15 AEST in Australia and 11:15 EST in the US.
Ireland Women won the last encounter but both teams are in the same form for their last 5 games.
Heading into the fixture the two sides are separated by just 3 places in the rankings with Ireland Women in position 5 and USA Women in position 8, underlining just how tight this match could be.
