After a tumultuous week for Women's Rugby and the IRFU, the country is really getting behind the ladies ahead of the game.
This week, The Telegraph published an investigation into the IRFU and uncovered an alarming amount of evidence that there is deep-rooted sexism within the organisation.
The report showed that the women players were not consulted about the recent kit change.
