Donegal’s Tyler Toland and Amber Barrett have both been included in the Carla Ward’s 25-strong Republic of Ireland women’s squad for the team’s concluding two Group stage World Cup qualifiers agianst the Netherlands and France.<\/p>\n
Ireland play the Dutch in Cork on June 5th before travelling to Grenoble to play France four days later.<\/p>\n
Denise O’Sullivan and Emily Murphy are suspended for the home match against the Netherlands but will remain with the squad for the duration of the camp and will be available for selection for the final game against France.<\/p>\n
Ireland enter the final window with direct qualification for next summer\u2019s finals tournament in Brazil still a possibility.<\/p>\n
Should Ireland secure top spot in the group across these two fixtures, they would bypass the play-off system and secure an automatic berth at the World Cup.<\/p>\n
