Hopefully see you all at the Bow this Saturday to both welcome Andy Ireland our new Women's Coach as well as register for the upcoming season.

Andy joins us from coaching the Cambridge Women's team to a win over Oxford this year. Having been part of Wasps during the inception of the professional era in rugby union he has much to offer our women's team to ensure they continue to build on their successes over the past few years. Welcome to Toronto, Andy - and welcome to the Toronto Saracens...
