Well feic, that scoreline does not reflect the effort... Black Ferns defence was immense! Almost precog the way they read passes. Great periods of pressure from Ireland (10 mins each half) but we never capitalised. Still wonderful day, bumped into someone who played rugby with my uncle, met some fans we chatted to yesterday. As still to play for as Ireland have QF next week. Lovely day out - get thee to women's rugby!

The coverage on RTE2 ahead of the opening game (#ENGvUSA) is good - great segment of Ireland's history in women's rugby, current player profiles break down, squad interviews, and Niamh and Lindsey as ex players offering interesting insight.
Ireland have a decent chance in our pool, we can't be over confident but we definitely have the talent, both as a team and individuals, to to do well.
Am so looking forward to the next 6 weeks.
