The 23-year-old, who joined the Premiership Women’s Rugby club ahead of this season, has made 10 appearances for Harlequins this season, has scored seven tries and win 15 turnovers.

Her performances at No.8 for Ireland in this year’s Women’s Six Nations have earned her another nomination for Player of the Championship.

“It’s an incredible group to be a part of and I’m really excited to see what we can do next season,” Wafer said.

“We have the potential to do something special and I’m excited to be involved in that with Quins. It’s a different style of rugby to what I’ve played before, but a really enjoyable style to learn.

“The PWR has made me a better player, and it’s allowed me to perform at a higher intensity.”

“That level of support from the fans is a level up from anything I’ve experienced with any other club sides in the past. It spurs you on that extra bit when the crowd start singing. The support from the Harlequins fans has been amazing this season.”

It has been a challenging season for Harlequins, who are currently four points from top four contention with two rounds of the PWR regular season to go.

Winless since Wafer’s hat-trick against Trailfinders Women powered Harlequins to victory in January, Wafer and her teammates host Leicester Tigers at the Stoop this Saturday in their season finale.

Ross Chisholm, Harlequins head coach, said: “Aoife has been a standout performer in the PWR this season and we are thrilled that she has re-committed to the Club. She is a real leader both on and off the pitch.

“We’ve seen how much of an impact she has had on games this season and I believe that in our environment, she can take her game to another level again in the coming seasons.”

Can Australia look to the greats of yesteryear to kickstart the next generation of innovation?

To me, not backing him after his drop kicks vs SA was by far one of the most beyond understanding decisions from Irish Rugby. Even considering that he may have not maintain this level of performances, it was a necessity to try him and give him the opportunity to do so.

Talking about beyond understanding decisions, I’m still really confused about Rieko Ioane signing. His saturday performance wasn’t even bad, however, I still don’t get how the Leinster’s direction could have thought that replacing Jordie Barrett with him was making any sense. Barrett have not been a great signing for Leinster only because he is a world class player, he was a great signing first and foremost because Leinster needed an inside center with playmaking attributes. They had already sign Charlie Ngatai a few years ago in order to get one. In that view, Jordie Barrett was not only an exotic reinforcement for their squad - like any world class player could be regardless of Leinster’s needs -, he was more than needed. Thus, they lost a player that they need and replaced him with a player who covers positions for which they were nearly stacked with quality players… I could have understood their choice if they had backed Osborne to become their next 12 and only wanted to challenge Gary Ringrose (and get (even) more depth in their backs), hovewer, they finally choose to start Robbie Henshaw which gave away the last remaining interest of that signing.
