Former Republic of Ireland Ireland international Julie-Ann Russell joins Colm Boohig & David Wilson to look back on a ruthless 12-0 aggregate win over Kazakhstan, with 11 different goalscorers lighting up the two legs.

With Poland up next in a World Cup play-off (away on December 1st, then back at the Aviva on December 5th), we dig into what Carla Ward learned from the window: squad rotation, new combinations, and standout contributions from the likes of Jessie Stapleton, Shanade Hopcroft and Abbie Larkin.

Plus, the mentality test after the Wales heartbreak, why Ireland have already had joy against Poland this year, and the Cork vs Aviva debate as the road to Brazil comes into view.
