The Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU) is awaiting news on a proposal that could see Irish sides become part of a future British and Irish women's rugby league, according to Lynne Cantwell, the union's head of women's strategy.

Cantwell described the potential development as a "massive opportunity" for Irish rugby, according to BBC Sport.

The prospect relates to discussions around Premiership Women's Rugby (PWR), the top flight of women's club rugby in England, and whether the competition could expand to include teams from Ireland.

Details of the proposal, including a timeline for any decision, have not been made public. The IRFU has not yet confirmed whether or when Irish clubs might formally join such a league.

Cantwell's comments come amid continued growth in interest and investment in women's rugby across Britain and Ireland in recent years.

Further details are expected as discussions between rugby bodies progress.
