Ireland took plenty of confidence and belief from a defeat in which they proved that they belong on the world stage
Emma Duffy Reports from Stadium Australia VERA PAUW IS taking huge confidence from Ireland’s World Cup debut, despite defeat to Australia.
“When we had to go further forward, the change in tactical approach worked also. Until the last second, we were able to put them under pressure, and I am really proud on this stage, with 82,000 people watching, and it didn’t look like it was really affecting them. “We stayed snappy and if the game had gone on another 20 minutes we could have gone also,” she added.
Pauw also touched on a huge Australian absence, their captain and taliswoman having been ruled out with injury just before kick-off.
