Louise Quinn is relishing the challenge of facing much-fancied Australia.
Ireland will have to keep the Matildas captain and Chelsea star well shackled if they are to make the dream start at their first World Cup.
Vera Pauw’s Ireland will be looking to spoil the party, a result appearing hard got. But they’ve enjoyed similar scalps before. Stopping Kerr, her incredible movement and her service, will be key to that. “What I want to so is to not let her score essentially. Keep her out of the game. She really creates moments out of nothing but it has to be 100% for the 90 minutes.
“And that means cutting it off at the source at times. We all know she is fantastic in the air so it is about cutting off the supply from crosses. It’s going to change every game. We’re not saying she is the [only] one to watch.
