Welcome along to Monday's Rugby Daily, I'm David Wilson. Coming up today, we look ahead to a huge week for Ireland as they get ready to prepare for Scotland at the Aviva Stadium.
What is the focus of Ireland's upcoming match against Scotland?
Alan Quinlan on the difficulties that surround his old province, Munster. And should World Rugby have another look at the tackle height laws? Aoife Wafer and Brittany Hogan help themselves to two tries apiece as Ireland wore down Wales for a 33-12 win in their penultimate fixture of the Women's Six Nations campaign on Saturday. Bevan Parsons got the other try for Scott Beeman's side on the day in Belfast as the bonus point win went some way towards making up for the disappointment of falling short in their bid to pull off a landmark victory in France two weeks ago. The Irish side will now aim to solidify a top three finish in this year's tournament and a 100% home record by trying to beat Scotland at the Aviva next Sunday afternoon.
Dara Smith-Nocton was there for us in Belfast and he spoke to head coach Scott Beeman and he paid tribute to the leaders in the group.
Three girls stood up and spoke before we got on the bus today. All three of them were 22. So three leaders in our team, you're one of them. And it's not an old group, but it's becoming an experienced group. And the class thing is, like, we're just going to keep getting better because how they learn, how they're able to take from, you know, Dana's doing all the growing up in the public eye. Like I say, watching that game from court two years ago. And we don't get rattled by some of the things that rattled us then. we're more composed we're making better strategic decisions so we won't get them all right not yet but we're making we're making more right decisions than wrong because our intent to be brave our intent to to get a game out there is good Aoife Wafer again led by example from the front scoring two tries her teammate and captain Aaron King paid tribute to the Harlequins number eight
Aaron, just about going back to Aoife Wafer, I think we speak so much about her impact in this team, but I don't think we quite understand how good at rugby she really is. Performance out there like today, she's just everywhere. What's it like to play alongside her?
Yeah, like I said before, so lucky to play alongside her. She's a great ball carrier, she's always around the park. The same as Brittany, it's great to get to play alongside both of them in the back row. She showed what she could do today, the offloads, the carries, the tackling. We're so lucky to have someone like that on our team and just keep driving each other and I suppose the rest of the team as well. bench coming on they also did a great job the impact there and yeah I suppose I'm just really proud of the 1-23.
Niamh Gallagher came off the bench to make her senior Ireland debut and she described her journey to get where she is now and her Gaelic football background.
What I was feeling stepping out onto that pitch is just there's another game of rugby but I had to take another deep breath and and make sure I grounded myself and taking in all the atmosphere from the crowd was unbelievable. I had a lot more family than I anticipated. They all made the journey from Mayo and from Cork, so that was quite the trip. Well, I played Gaelic growing up, so I've always loved kicking. And yeah, in Clermont, I just got told it was my first time being a travelling reserve, so just go have fun with kicking.
You're kicking from 40 metres or so?
Yeah, well, that was my first time testing out how far I could kick, so I was just enjoying it.
Where did you play Gaelic football?
Waltham Cross, St Joseph's. From the age of four, I was playing Gaelic. I would play Irish music and I'd be doing Irish dancing too, so being from Ireland is always in from my core.
What challenges is Munster facing currently?
What position in Gaelic football?
