The IRFU combine that is aiming to find high-potential female athletes
Q: Stacey, if a top athlete from another sport is listening this evening and thinking about attending one of these combines, what would you say to them?
She would encourage them to consider the experience as a valuable life opportunity, highlighting the chance to travel, represent the country, and potentially reach major tournaments; she notes that many athletes have successfully transitioned before and there is no harm in exploring it.
European Football
Q: What do you think is the issue with the Premier League teams in the Champions League knockout rounds?

Q: What does the new strategy propose to change in order to improve Irish football long term?
It outlines three pillars—facilities, football development, and the League of Ireland—along with a commitment to reset governance, improve the talent pathway, and increase participation, especially among boys and girls, to raise standards and international competitiveness.
