Yeah, in terms of what Poland brought to proceedings tonight, Eva Pior was always going to be the one that we'd be watching.

Absolute superstar of the game.

She took her goal brilliantly.

How did Katie McKay play tonight?

Because it is, as I say earlier on, while we're looking for somebody to join herself and Denise in terms of being that top quality player, if Ireland are going to qualify for back-to-back World Cups, that sort of performance from McKay tonight in particular is a thing that would give you hope because...

The truth of the matter is Ireland aren't going to qualify unless O'Sullivan and McCabe are flying and that they are the two world-class players in the team.

And it's too soon to say how it's going to be looking for the playoffs if and when Ireland get to those playoffs.

But the early signs are pretty good.

Yeah, you forget that someone like Abby Larkin is only 20 years of age.

She's got 31 caps.

It's an extraordinary amount.

She has been around for so long.

That's why I'm so surprised that she's still only 20 years of age.

Interesting in terms of what you said there, like you obviously played with her here in Ireland and then she goes over to Crystal Palace.

Do you think that that fitness gap is something that...

is the big thing between even this Ireland team and a lot of the teams they'll come up against.

And obviously there's players who've been playing WSL or in North America for so many years and they're at that level.

But in terms of the players who are in their early 20s who might be playing the league over here, just that fitness gap is a real thing that separates Ireland from some other teams and it just takes a bit of time.

We're just seeing the replay of Katie McCabe on TV and this goal.

This is an absolute brilliant finish.
