Following Ireland’s bonus-point 33-12 win over Wales, the Ireland Rugby Social sat down with injured forward Edel McMahon to look back on the impressive display. <\/p>\n
Aoife Wafer and Brittany Hogan both registered two tries in Belfast, while Beibhinn Parsons also crossed to secure the crucial win for Scott Bemand’s side. <\/p>\n
The victory was Ireland’s second of this Six Nations campaign and means they remain unbeaten at home.<\/p>\n
“I think there was a part in that game that was very messy, particularly that second half, first 12 minutes, between two yellow cards, plenty of knock-ons and disruptions in scrum and line-out, but overall, I think Ireland will be happy,” McMahon told the Ireland Rugby Social.<\/p>\n
“They’re scoring in every 20 minutes of the game, which is something that probably be aiming for. <\/p>\n
“They’ve been a 60-minute performance team and they’re trying to go for that 80, so to score every 20 minutes is probably something they’ll be happy about.”<\/p>\n
Throughout the Six Nations, head coach Bemand has talked about the importance of winning all three home matches.<\/p>\n
Now, heading into the final game, Ireland have the opportunity to complete this target when they welcome Scotland in front of what is set to be a record crowd at the Aviva Stadium.<\/p>\n
“They [Scotland] haven’t had the greatest tournament themselves so far. They’re a proud nation. They’re going to come and they will want to spoil the party next week,” Ireland Social co-host Lindsay Peat added.<\/p>\n
“I think it’s a beautiful stadium, I finally got to play there with in the AIL [All-Ireland League] finals and there’s a lovely freedom. If the girls play with that freedom, I think we will finally get to see this, when I say finally they’ve put in amazing performances, but just an overall fulfilment of what they can do within 80 minutes. <\/p>\n
“It would be lovely to see for themselves, because I think they deserve it. So, it’ll be interesting to see, but I think it’s going to be a very good day and I think they will bring what they need to this party next week.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Following Ireland’s bonus-point 33-12 win over Wales, the Ireland Rugby Social sat down with injured forward Edel McMahon…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":441912,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[61,60,43],"class_list":["post-441911","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ireland","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/441911","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=441911"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/441911\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/441912"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=441911"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=441911"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=441911"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
