Ireland look to seal quarter-final berth against Spain
Damien O'Meara is joined in the new RTÉ podcast studio by former Ireland international Hannah O'Connor to look ahead to Sunday's Women's Rugby World Cup clash with Spain.Neil Treacy dials in from Towcester ahead of Ireland's first media engagement of the week to give us his insights from Wednesday morning's training session, while also lifting the lid on the nightlife in Northampton of a Tuesday night.While the win over Japan was far from perfect, Ireland head coach Scott Bemand will have seen a lot that pleased him as Ireland return to Franklin's Gardens to face an opponent who have given Ireland some trouble in recent years.The Spain game will come too soon for Aoife Wafer, but that doesn't mean she will not have an influence around the camp this week, according to Hannah.Spain were well beaten by New Zealand in their opening game, but it was a harder fought win for the Black Ferns than some of the other mismatches we saw in the first round of pool games.Ultimately, however, both Hannah and Neil reckon Ireland will have too much for their Iberian opponents and will secure the win that punches their ticket for the last-eight.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
