The Leinster star is still only 21 but has been producing superb performances at Test level for Ireland and, with the World Cup finals to come next year, has her sights set for success
Aoife Wafer insists she still has a lot of work to do to become one of the best players in the world.
She will be central to Ireland's return to the world stage in next year's finals in England, after they finished third in the Six Nations this year. "Seeing that sign saying that we had qualified was absolutely incredible. That’s dream stuff," said Wafer. Ireland's WXVI victory over reigning world champs New Zealand in Canada at the end of September has whetted the appetite. "We feel the whole country behind us now," she said. "It’s pretty special.
"I think there’s still a lot more to come from this team and I think everybody is desperate to be part of a successful Irish team and the next step in that is the Six Nations. But there’s another big goal at the end of 2025 and that’s what we’re building towards.
