Scotland women's rugby aims to sell out Murrayfield

Donna Kennedy, Scotland women's rugby team's most capped player, is optimistic about the future of women's rugby in Scotland. She believes that one day, they will fill Murrayfield Stadium. Murrayfield has a long history, hosting its first international match between the Scotland and England men's teams 100 years ago. Kennedy, who has played 115 times for Scotland, was part of the first women's team to play at Murrayfield in 2001. They won that match against Sweden 13-3. This weekend, Scotland will face Wales at Hive Stadium, which is near Murrayfield, to kick off their Women's Six Nations campaign. Kennedy expressed her hopes for the sport's growth. She noted that other countries like England have had big crowds, with Twickenham hosting nearly 70,000 fans. Kennedy said, "If we can get up to 30,000-40,000, then I believe one day we will fill this stadium." She believes that as the sport grows leading up to events like the World Cup, interest will increase even more. She shared her thoughts on playing at such a historic venue and noted the excitement she feels, whether as a player or a spectator. "It's an amazing experience," she added. Kennedy remains hopeful about the future of women's rugby in Scotland.
