Second semi-final: Gloucester-Hartpury 36-20 Bristol
Maher refuses to rule out returning to English game

A tearful Ilona Maher signed off her time in English club rugby with a try for Bristol Bears but it was not enough to prevent a 36-20 defeat against their west country rivals Gloucester-Hartpury in the women's Premiership semi-final.

Maher, who has more than 8m social media followers, has been a groundbreaking addition to the PWR, signing for Bristol in December and bringing record attendances and global attention to the women's club game.
