"VAN" (Sports Desk - 20.09.2021) :: Ireland and Scotland reignited their Rugby World Cup 2021 Europe Qualifier hopes on Sunday to leave the race for a ticket to New Zealand wide open. Both teams had lost on the opening day of the tournament, but tries from Beibhinn Parsons and Aimee-Leigh Murphy Crowe helped the Irish to a 15-7 defeat of the hosts in the opening match at Stadio Sergio Lanfranchi. Scotland then secured their first win of the RWC 2021 Europe Qualifier, running in four tries to earn a bonus-point 27-22 victory against Spain. It means that Italy lead the standings on points difference from Ireland, Spain and Scotland but with all four teams on five points heading into the final round of matches on Saturday, the hunt for a place at RWC 2021 is delicately poised.
