Our line up for Sunday's Women's Rugby World Cup 2025 opener against Japan! 🟢 #WeAreIreland

England are probably happy to make handling errors in this game knowing how superior they are in the pack. Completely dominating the scrum so far. #RWC2025

That is a quite wonderful try from Erica Jarrell.

Much better performance. Henderson has made a big difference, bringing calmness and composure when in possession. Yarmoliuk has looked very good alongside him and Schade has made a huge difference.

Really disciplined performance today, Kayode, Henderson, Yarmoliuk and Schade all outstanding. Restricted Villa to speculative chances. Igor worked really hard but needs to improve when on the ball in the attacking third. A deserved, and much-needed, three points. #BrentfordFC

It’s not surprising how good Yarmoliuk was today with a calm, competent defensive midfielder alongside him.

Aimee-Leigh Costigan and Beibhínn Parsons! 🔥🔥🔥 Terrific running rugby from Ireland off the back of a really solid scrum! #RWC2025

That was thoroughly entertaining. Both teams really chucking it around at pace. Impossible not to enjoy

Only one game like Rugby. #RWC2025

Absolutely stupid from Anthony Gordon.

What a finish that is for such a young man! Lovely play from Liverpool too! Max Dowman has a rival on his hands 😀

Rico having a terrific game tonight, has completely suppressed any threat Bournemouth may have otherwise possessed down their right flank. #BrentfordFC #CarabaoCup

Obviously have to take into account the second-string Bournemouth team, but that was a terrific performance. Maintained discipline throughout and knew how to nullify Bournemouth’s attacking threat from the off. Avoided a damp squib after Saturday. #BrentfordFC

Sam Matterface does it again… “Šeško, Mbeumo and Cunha are all on the pitch, and yet they still can’t get passed Grimsby Town!” Mbeumo literally scored their first goal 🤦‍♂️

Class, absolute class.

Ahh Bryan, come home! 😩😩😩

A brilliant, historic night for the League of Ireland - first time ever that two clubs have qualified for a club European Competition in the same season. Congratulations to both Shelbourne and Shamrock Rovers! ☘️

An historic night on an emotional day for the League of Ireland as both Shelbourne and Shamrock Rovers make the league phase of European competition. That's for you Ollie. 🙏 ☘️ ⚽ 🙌 #GreatestLeagueInTheWorld

My reason for not going to the Wales game tomorrow is the best one ever - I left it late to buy my ticket & it sold out. In fact - for Saturday, there's only one general admission seat left across all 4 games. Lovely end to a week of people telling me no one likes women's rugby.

A huge future awaits this fine young player. Four years, three trophies, 142 goals, still only twenty years old! Will be dearly missed at Brentford, but an opportunity that simply couldn’t be turned-down. Good luck Chloe! 👏👏👏
