Let's hear it for the girls

In recognition of the growing popularity of women's rugby, the Ireland v England women's match will be shown live on RTÉ next Saturday. Among the more excited parties will be Ryle Nugent, who has a whole new set of names to wrap his gums around. Unfortunately for Ryle most of the Irish and English players have pretty familiar-sounding handles, but if anyone can find a creative way to drag a few more syllables from them it's him. He can always console himself with the thought that the next two matches are against Italy and France, so expect a few Nugent specials in the coming weeks.
