Six Nations preview | Aofie Wafer in studio | Facing down England & World Cup injuries

Yeah, she's just electric.

Indo Sport
Six Nations preview | Aofie Wafer in studio | Facing down England & World Cup injuries

Yeah, and...

Indo Sport
Six Nations preview | Aofie Wafer in studio | Facing down England & World Cup injuries

Like we're very lucky with our fan base in the stoop.

Indo Sport
Six Nations preview | Aofie Wafer in studio | Facing down England & World Cup injuries

Like it's always quite big when we play at home and the kids always have their signs out and they're always kind of shouting for her and whether it's cowboy hats or whatever it is, they're always on the sideline and they have different signs for us all.

Indo Sport
Six Nations preview | Aofie Wafer in studio | Facing down England & World Cup injuries

So yeah, they really care about this team too.

Indo Sport
Six Nations preview | Aofie Wafer in studio | Facing down England & World Cup injuries

Yeah, I think it's challenging.

Indo Sport
Six Nations preview | Aofie Wafer in studio | Facing down England & World Cup injuries

It's obviously very different to Ireland, but I think like a bit of challenge never hurt anyone and I'm willing to learn from it.

Indo Sport
Six Nations preview | Aofie Wafer in studio | Facing down England & World Cup injuries

Well I think it'll be interesting this campaign because I think there's a few things that probably marry up with what Quinns are doing at the minute whether it's striking when we're in the 22 and try and get more points which I think at Quinns we're probably one of the better teams in the league at doing that when we get into a 22 or whether it's just keeping ball alive because yeah if you can get behind a defence it's very hard to stop so yeah I think this campaign will be interesting to kind of see how a few bits go but

Indo Sport
Six Nations preview | Aofie Wafer in studio | Facing down England & World Cup injuries

Yeah, and I think at Quinns, there's a lot of the forwards that are able to act as nearly backs because they just back our handling and our ability, whether it's in channels or that kind of thing, to just do it.

Indo Sport
Six Nations preview | Aofie Wafer in studio | Facing down England & World Cup injuries

And yeah, it kind of just works for us in that way.

Indo Sport
Six Nations preview | Aofie Wafer in studio | Facing down England & World Cup injuries

I don't think I'll push Dana.

Indo Sport
Six Nations preview | Aofie Wafer in studio | Facing down England & World Cup injuries

I could imagine she'll probably have my head.

Indo Sport
Six Nations preview | Aofie Wafer in studio | Facing down England & World Cup injuries

Yeah.

Indo Sport
Six Nations preview | Aofie Wafer in studio | Facing down England & World Cup injuries

Yeah, well, I wouldn't even say I had much homesickness.

Indo Sport
Six Nations preview | Aofie Wafer in studio | Facing down England & World Cup injuries

Like, yeah, I don't think I'd class myself as a homebird once I'm busy.

Indo Sport
Six Nations preview | Aofie Wafer in studio | Facing down England & World Cup injuries

So, yeah, like, probably that first week or two was the toughest because, obviously, torn MCL, broken collarbone, new medical staff, new group.

Indo Sport
Six Nations preview | Aofie Wafer in studio | Facing down England & World Cup injuries

Like, I didn't know anyone, really, to be honest.

Indo Sport
Six Nations preview | Aofie Wafer in studio | Facing down England & World Cup injuries

So...

Indo Sport
Six Nations preview | Aofie Wafer in studio | Facing down England & World Cup injuries

All of that, plus not being on the field, because obviously, like as a player, you get to know people a little bit better when you're actually on field.

Indo Sport
Six Nations preview | Aofie Wafer in studio | Facing down England & World Cup injuries

Yeah, exactly.
