I think that's improved, but I think her kicking game can't be
can't be overlooked in what she offers us.
But that being said, like, yeah, there is the argument.
Why not blood, you know, younger players coming through?
Like as the emailer said there, like being on the receiving end of it, Katrina Finn had played a huge role in UL Bowes managing to beat us in that AIL final a couple of weeks ago.
She's also gone on to link in and get minutes in with the under 21 squad when they played another big role when they beat England by a tiny margin over there as well.
So that was a huge scalp for them to take as well.
So she is on form.
she is you know putting it out there and match performances and putting it into practice so it's a case of has she been able to do it in the senior training squad dynamic and training sessions and does he give her enough of a backing to give it a go or to give her a space on the bench as you mentioned we have been going 6-2 a lot of the time so it does change the dynamic of the bench a lot if we do resort back to that 5-3 split but at the same time there's the two arguments for it you keep the consistency in what you have and look to finish with three wins from three at home
and tried to do that for the first time in a couple of years for us.
Is that the biggest part of it?
Or do you trust that you can rotate things a little bit and use this competition?
You know, we're not trying to qualify for a World Cup like it was in the previous years of trying to get ourselves into, you know,
positions of like combinations and the importance of that whereas i think yeah why not give someone else you know where there's a lot of young players on that squad including katrina finn who who have been putting up their hand up and you know are probably worthy of a shot of it but i guess it's it's you know have they been able to do the training sessions have they been able to get their detail right and be able to kind of replicate that in front of the coaches worthy enough to get a spot i guess remains to be seen when we see the squad come out for this weekend i think we'll know a lot more of what his plans are for the last two games
Yeah, she's a great fella, thank you.
Yeah, I do think so.
I think you have to find that balance.
As you said, yes, there's the two sides to it.
You can get a, you know, a hell of a lot of experience into Dan over the next few years before the next World Cup rolls around.
But you've also, I think we've seen it in the Irish squad between the Crowley, Byrne, Prendergast dynamic of like, there's nothing better than someone chomping at the bit and chasing someone's heels to try and get a shot at it too.
