As the Women's Six Nations reaches its thrilling conclusion, Ireland's dynamic winger Beibhinn Parsons has set her sights on a perfect home record—and what better stage than Dublin's iconic Aviva Stadium?
The Irish squad, under the guidance of head coach Scott Bemand, has been in fine form on home soil this campaign. After commanding victories over Italy in Galway and Wales in Belfast, they're now eyeing a clean sweep when Scotland visits on Sunday. With over 28,000 tickets already sold, the atmosphere promises to be electric as the team chases a third consecutive home win.
Parsons, who has been a standout performer with three tries in those two wins, isn't resting on her laurels. Reflecting on last weekend's hard-fought victory against Wales, she admitted there's room for improvement. "I don't think it was our best performance. We definitely have some areas we need to improve on," she told BBC Sport NI. "We talked about having a fast start, and I'm not really sure we got that on the weekend. It's wiped away any complacency that might have built up."
The 21-year-old speedster emphasized the team's renewed focus heading into the clash. "I think this week we will go into it with really sharp minds and know exactly what we want to execute on."
A win on Sunday would solidify Ireland's third-place finish in the tournament standings, trailing only powerhouses England and France. But for Parsons and her teammates, it's about more than just position—it's about momentum. After falling to Scotland in last year's tournament, this match represents a chance to prove their upward trajectory. "We know we want to be a real contender in the Six Nations—a top-two team in the tournament and a top-four team in the world," Parsons added. "That means we have to focus on ourselves and what we want to execute."
For fans and players alike, Sunday's showdown at the Aviva Stadium isn't just another game—it's a statement of intent from a team on the rise.
