This weekend it's all on the line.
By Saturday afternoon we'll find out if the Wolfhounds retain their Celtic Challenge title or whether the Clovers can cause an upset and win it for themselves.
The Wolfhounds take on Edinburgh at home in the Energia Park on Saturday, with the Clovers taking on Gwalia Lightning in Wales.
Sitting on top after nine Rounds with a two-point buffer, a win for the Wolfhounds will see them clinch the title once more.
For captain, Claire Boles, she says that the prospect of it all on the line this weekend is a very exciting one for herself and her teammates.
"Everyone is really excited. It's been a long campaign as we started it back in December, so it's been three months of hard work. We know it's all been leading towards this last game given the position of the table."
Boles says that playing at Energia Park is a big boost to the team, with home advantage in such a crunch match.
"It means a lot to be playing at home. We played last year at Kingspan Stadium and the same title up for grabs. It gives us an advantage and it's always great when we have support. It’s amazing when families are able to come along. It will be a good one this weekend."
With the Celtic Challenge being extended to ten rounds in this format, Boles feels that the longer tournament has been beneficial to a Wolfhounds side who have put in some dominant performances.
"It’s been really beneficial to play with the girls consistently. It bridges that gap between club rugby and international level.
"With the structures of our training sessions, our gym sessions and speed exposure it really gives the players a good preparation before they head into the international set-up.
"It’s been a good opportunity to get game time and get good quality games."
A back-rower, Boles has been putting in consistent performances at flanker, with the captain notching a first-half hat trick in Round 9's 48-17 victory over Gwalia Lightning.
"I don't really score many hat tricks as a forward! it was nice as it helped give the team a good platform. We needed to win with a bonus-point or else everything would have been up in the air. It laid down a marker and I was happy to help the team. I’d rather have a turnover on my own line than a try to be honest!"
Being named as the captain was the latest high in what has been a whirlwind year for the Fermanagh woman.
Last summer, Boles made an impact on the global stage, playing her part for Ireland Sevens in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games in what was a "dream come true".
She has since transitioned into the XVs for the Wolfhounds and playing club rugby with Railway Union RFC.
With a call-up to the Ireland Women's Six Nations squad in a World Cup year, Boles is excited for the prospect of the tournament opener as Ireland take on France later this month at Kingspan Stadium.
"Anybody from Ulster knows Kingspan Stadium is a special place to play. To kick off the Six Nations against France, it will be a really special game. If people are able to get down and support, i know it would mean so much to the team."
Boles has been balancing her busy calendar with studying a PHD in Biochemical Engineering.
She says that her favourite way to clear her head is heading back home when she can, to help out on the family farm in Enniskillen.
"After Olympics I took a break and while I played club I studied my PHD. In my free time I find it relaxing to be back on the farm and doing plain chores to be honest. Things like feeding the cattle or mucking out in the stables, you don't really think of anything else when you're doing those!"
Despite being an official Olympian, she says that means next to nothing when it comes to being back on the farm.
"Being an Olympian is an honour but yeah, you get absolutely no sympathy going home!"
