"Six Nations clash with familiar foes France could be a springboard for Irish team as they look to bounce back"
"When Stacey Flood went travelling around the world for a few months before Christmas, she barred herself from watching back over their games from the Women's Rugby World Cup."
"The Ireland full-back isn't the kind of player who avoids reviewing matches no matter how much of a killer it is, like their defeat to France in last September's World Cup quarter-final."
Ireland prepare to face France in the Six Nations, viewing the match as a potential springboard to regain momentum. Stacey Flood travelled around the world for several months before Christmas and purposefully avoided rewatching Ireland's matches from the Women's Rugby World Cup. Flood typically reviews games but chose not to revisit the painful World Cup quarter-final loss to France last September. The Ireland squad seek to bounce back from that defeat and use the familiar challenge of France to rebuild confidence and form. The clash offers an opportunity to test adjustments and reset ahead of the rest of the tournament.
