  • Missing the World Cup brings with it a serious amount of shock and sadness, and the last few days have been nothing short of a whirlwind. Although my next chapter may not be so full of rugby, my desire to come back as a better athlete, a smarter player, and a more rounded and resilient person is at the forefront for me right now.
    In a sense, I don’t have to rely solely on myself for motivation during this time, as I’ve seen countless women in my life go through long-term injuries, having a baby, then tearing an ACL and getting back to international rugby, missing the Olympics, enduring countless operations, back-to-back ACLs, and broken legs.
    Sam, Bei, Aoibheann, Maeve Óg, Tricky, Erin, Eimear, Enya, Tash, Derv, and I could go on. I feel very lucky to have such an impressive group of women around me, who possess all of the experience and evidence to guide me through whatever it is I may face.

    Being able to complete my rehab in Exeter, where I couldn’t have met a better bunch of girls, makes me very happy, and I can’t wait to be reunited with them all soon 🩷

    More than anything I’m so excited to see where this Irish team can go; we have such talented and impressive girls whom I will miss playing with dearly. Myself and @erinking___ will be cooking on the sidelines at RWC2025, and I hope we see as many Irish fans there as possible.

    Plus, I heard rehab makes you hotter anyways?
