Maher’s Bristol Bears debut attracts record 9,240 crowdUSA international: ‘I would love to bring teammates up’
Bristol Bears’ new high-profile recruit Ilona Maher says while she loves being a superstar, rugby needs much more than solely her presence for the sport to continue to grow.
Maher, who is the most followed rugby player on social media, made her debut for Premiership Women’s Rugby club Bristol in their 40-17 defeat by Gloucester-Hartpury on Sunday in front of a record 9,240 crowd. The game was moved to Ashton Gate because of high ticket demand due to Maher’s presence.
