Speaking the launch of Sport Ireland’s new ‘It’s My Time’ campaign yesterday, Republic of Ireland women’s national team manager Pauw began: “Everyone knows that clubs are pulling on Jessie Stapleton but she is just 17 years old. We must be so careful with young players because an ACL is happening within a split second.”The Irish team will be based in Brisbane while in Australia, where they have been pitted against the co-hosts, Canada and Nigeria in Group B.
The Dutch coach, who shared Ireland’s intentions to “stun the world” Down Under on Friday’s Late Late Show, explained how she is closely monitoring four Irish-eligible players to increase squad depth.
