Ireland coach Scott Bemand insists his side must seize the spotlight in Sunday's Six Nations finale against Scotland at the Aviva Stadium. After home victories over Italy and Wales, the Irish women aim for a third win on home soil and a third place finish in the table. Over 30,000 tickets have already been sold, shattering previous attendance records for a women’s match in Ireland.

Bemand stressed that preparation is complete; now the squad must recover, refresh and deliver. He praised the team's confidence, saying they know how to produce their best performance. Scotland arrive winless in their last three outings, yet they edged Ireland 26‑19 in their previous encounter, suggesting a disciplined, organized opponent that will need to be broken down physically still.

The record‑breaking crowd underscores the growing appetite for women’s rugby in Ireland and fuels Bemand’s broader mission to inspire the next generation. He hopes a spirited display will convert spectators into players, boost merchandise sales and cement the sport’s inclusive reputation. A victory would cement Ireland’s ascent and lock them firmly in the tournament’s upper tier.
