Steed expects a winning World Cup start for Ireland

Former Ireland global and RTÉ Rugby analyst Fiona Steed expects to peer Ireland make a triumphing start to their World Cup campaign after they take on Australia this nighttime.

Ireland open the 2017 Women’s Rugby World Cup once they take at the Aussies inside the UCD Bowl this nighttime in a sport that’s live on RTÉ Television, RTÉ Radio on online at rte.Ie.

The host country can have little room for blunders, as they are trying to find to guarantee development to the semi-finals in Belfast by using topping Pool C, but Steed is confident they could get the result they want this evening.

“It’s a massive day for ladies’ rugby in the USA and girls’ sport in the country,”

she advised RTÉ Sport. “We’re bringing a World Cup to Ireland and it’s going to be right here in Dublin and in Belfast.

“It’s great for the ones of us who have struggled over the years and in greater recent instances as properly so fair play to the IRFU.

“I think it’ll be difficult enough for Ireland as it’s the first game and that they should get over the nerves and all of that, however, I honestly hope that Ireland will run out cozy winners.

“Australia only has approximately 5 games performed since the closing World Cup but they have got a lot of paces. They have 3 of the Olympic gold-medal winner Sevens gambling.

“Outside of that their % isn’t extraordinary and should not be as much as Ireland’s popular that we noticed inside the Six Nations.”

Ireland will face Australia with out captain Niamh Briggs has been dominated out of the event via damage.

Briggs had recovered from a hamstring injury which forced her to overlook the Six Nations but in a first-rate set-returned, she suffered a harm to her Achilles tendon in education.

Louise Galvin turned into being known as into the squad as a replacement and even as Steed has huge sympathy for the Irish skipper, she believes the aspect can address her absence.

“People can compensate for the missing of someone and the missing of a captain and in fact, Ireland didn’t have her for the Six Nations so in a way it changed into a great check run for them

“But for herself, that’s who I experience for in all of this. She has devoted the last three World years winning Steed

of her existence to be here and to play and carry out so it’s genuinely her I’m considering today.

“After that, we simply need to get on with it and he or she can be assisting Ireland and the team.”
