McMahon said,\u00a0\u201cFor the warm-up games it\u2019s about some players getting back on the field and getting that confidence again, looking at different combinations.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s about us as a squad knowing what we need to get out of the games to give us momentum going into the World Cup.<\/p>\n

Asked about the pre-season training blocks at the IRFU High Performance Centre she added,\u00a0\u201cTraining is tough but it can be really fun when it\u2019s rugby-based,\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of pre-season is a blend of bringing rugby into conditioning, into the gym to make it fun. It is about playing the sport. There has been a good bite to training for all of pre-season.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the horizon, everyone knows that selection is coming and everything wants to put their best foot forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt training, even if players are doing well against you, we\u2019re supporting each other but people are given the green light and it\u2019s OK to have that bit of edge because that\u2019s what you need to compete.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Green Wave<\/p>\n

McMahon commented,\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s huge. It comes as part of us wanting to inspire a generation of young girls to pick up rugby.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlong with that inspiration has to come success so it is important for us to continue with success but also to enjoy playing rugby and to be playing a good brand of rugby and show it\u2019s something to be involved in.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith that, to get the next generation hooked and say, I want to pick up a rugby ball or be a professional women\u2019s player.\u201d<\/p>\n
