Irish Women's rugby team to take on Australia!

 
 Claire Molloy

Ireland have put out there team for their opening match against the Australian's tomorrow night, with an experienced core off players that have been with them through the last world cup and their Six Nations trophies. Lead by captain Claire Molloy (who's also a doctor by the way), the most capped player in the team, I think they have the beating of Australia. They are one place higher than the Aussies in the World Ranking, haven't had to endure a recent intercontinental flight, and obviously have massive home support to look forward to.  C'mon the Irish women!
