Ireland Complete Preparations With Captain’s Run In Cork
The Ireland Women’s squad (sponsored by Aon) put the finishing touches to their preparations for their first Rugby World Cup warm-up match against Scotland with a brisk Captain’s Run at Virgin Media Park.
Looking forward to starting on the right wing after a long spell out due to breaking her leg twice in 2024, Béibhinn Parsons told Irish Rugby TV: “We just finished the Captain’s Run, it was really sharp, it was really quick.
“We’re just building the energy and can’t wait to rip into tomorrow. It has been a long time coming, but I couldn’t be on the pitch with better people, and making my return with Sam (Monaghan) as well. We shared our rehab together, so I can’t wait.
“Scotland are very good. They’re a very strong team and they’re very well connected. They are similar to ourselves, so we know it’s going to be a good test.”
