Head coach Scott Bemand has described Ireland’s shock defeat of New Zealand’s world champions as a “step in the right direction”. Aoife Wafer, the blindside flanker who did so much to make it happen, framed the WXV1 win in a much more historic light.

“It’s pretty indescribable, to be honest,” said the woman from Ballygarrett. “It’s going to take a little while for this one to set in and we still have a few big weeks ahead, we’re competing in WXV1 and we still have to play Canada and the USA.

“But as a kid growing up in rugby, I have dreamed of this day. I dreamed of facing the haka, dreamed of beating the All Blacks and the Black Ferns, and we have done that here today so, yeah, I’m so proud of everyone in our squad.” 

Wafer found her way over the try line twice in the opening half of this tournament opener in the BC Place in Vancouver. In what was just her ninth cap, she was the standout player on the pitch, the vanguard in what was a superb all-round team performance.
