In a significant milestone for Irish rugby, Beibhinn Parsons has officially become the all-time record try scorer for the Ireland women's national team. This achievement occurred during Ireland's 31-24 win over Japan in the WXV Global Series, hosted at Dexcom Stadium.

Ireland maintained control for much of the match, building a lead that proved necessary as the game progressed. Japan mounted a late comeback attempt in the closing stages, testing the Irish defense, but Ireland successfully held off the pressure to secure the victory. The match highlights the continued development of the Irish squad on the international stage and marks a personal career peak for Parsons, who has been a consistent offensive threat for the team.

While the result was a positive outcome for Ireland, the late-game intensity from Japan underscored the competitive nature of the WXV Global Series. Both teams demonstrated offensive capabilities, though Ireland’s ability to manage the scoreboard proved decisive in the final minutes. The record-breaking performance by Parsons serves as a focal point for the team's current momentum as they look toward future fixtures in the tournament.
