And I suppose it was the much debated thing when the two boys were being interchanged in and out with each other in the men's game.
You know, there's the fine line to doing that.
But I think like,
You know, Dana hasn't done a whole lot wrong to be losing a spot.
But at the same time, as you mentioned, why not add the depth there that you're not just throwing someone at the deep end of a test match, that you're not just waiting for kind of a bit of a lull to put them in there.
That, you know, this I think these two home games, how we're playing as a team will give a platform for perhaps change that dynamic on the bench split a little bit to give someone a little bit of minutes like the Katrina Finns, perhaps like a Niamh Gallagher.
who's been going well in the PWR perhaps is back up to 15.
And again, maybe the coaches, I'm sure they have other contingency plans as to who's there to fill those spots, but it would be nice to see a little bit of an injection of something new in over the last two games to kind of give a bit of food for thought heading into the summer break.
Yeah, I think, like, obviously, Avianne Riley has the Asterix beside her because she's probably just ruled out through injury.
She was probably, based on Celtic Challenge performances before she picked up an unfortunate injury, was the in-form nine
Ireland at the time so I know that she's been chomping at the bit to get back and is on track to be back I think so that could throw a spanner in the works if she's back and in and available for selection um in terms of the others it's a mix as you said like do you risk like say the likes of Beth Motiver is she going to be deemed good enough to get in there and head a Niamh Jones as a Cliona Maloney is probably in the form of her life in terms of starting as Ireland's first choice to probably for the first time in a couple of years and she's shown a
she's reaping the rewards of that in her performances.
But do you like, do you put Beth Buttermer in there instead of Niamh Jones and what she can offer?
And do you take the opportunity to blood her with more minutes against, you know, two tough oppositions and what's to come?
Or the likes of, say, Jemima Adams-Verling and Eilish Quinn have both got big minutes under their belt with the under-21s in their last two games against England most recently last weekend and Italy the weekend previous to that.
So does he argue that they're getting their minutes there and that's exposing them to another level up?
Does he feel that they've kind of
shown enough in training with the senior team and with what they've shown on the under 21 circuit to be putting their hand up for selection so yeah to be honest based on what we've seen so far as you said there's not been much kind of wiggle room for people and I think how this selection goes this week will probably tell you a lot about whether he's going to do the same for the last week of the competition in terms of who's getting in and who's not getting in but possibly maybe room for one or two but not looking like very likely if you were to go off what they've done so far
I've played against her a good bit, obviously, against Munster and against UL Bowes.
And yeah, she has got serious dart on her.
