Irish Police Rugby Team kicks off the new Season with a win over Scotland

The Irish Police Rugby Team has launched their quest for back-to-back championships in the 4 Nations Cup 2025/2026 season with an exhilarating and dominant performance. Following their triumph in the 2024/2025 campaign, the pressure was on the team to begin the new season with the same intensity and precision. They did exactly that, delivering a spectacular display of skill and teamwork to secure a resounding win against their long-standing rivals, the Scottish Police side. This victory not only banks crucial early points but also sends a clear message to the competition: the reigning champions are focused and ready to defend their title.

On a competitive day, the Irish Police Rugby team faced the Scottish Police side at the Garryowen Rugby Club in Limerick on October 15th, 2025.

From the outset, the contest was engaging, with the Irish side establishing a moderate but important lead in the first half. The team’s coordination and tactical acumen were evident, allowing them to repeatedly breach the Scottish defence. While the second half began with the same intensity, the Irish players dramatically increased their pace and intensity, unleashing a flurry of well-executed tries that extended their lead beyond reach.

The final whistle confirmed a decisive victory for the Irish, with a commanding final score of 61 - 29. This performance underscored the team’s exceptional offensive capabilities and signals a powerful start to their title defence.
