Beibhinn Parsons became Ireland women's all-time record try scorer as Ireland held off a late comeback from Japan to win 31-24 in the WXV Global Series at Dexcom Stadium, according to the BBC.
The result keeps Ireland's campaign in the tournament on track, though the BBC's report indicates Japan mounted a comeback in the closing stages before Ireland ultimately secured the win.
Parsons, a winger who has been one of the leading figures in Irish women's rugby in recent years, added to her try-scoring tally with the score that took her past the previous national record, the report said. The BBC's coverage did not detail the exact number of tries in Parsons' new record total.
The WXV Global Series is one of the sport's leading annual international competitions for women's national teams, gathering some of the top-ranked sides in the world.
