Women's Rugby World Cup: Six stars to watch out for
The Women's Rugby World Cup begins in Sunderland on Friday when hosts England face the United States at the Stadium of Light. The tournament concludes with the final at the Allianz Stadium on September 27. Take a look at some of the key players to watch during this year's competition. Aoife Dalton The Ireland international is only 22 but has 24 caps to her name and was awarded player of the year last season after a strong Six Nations performance. The dynamic centre started all five games for Ireland in the Six Nations and will be hoping to carry on that record in the WRWC where she is appearing for the first time. The Offaly native is a ball carrying powerhouse with 41 carries in the W6N as well as one try to her name. Claudia Pena The Spain international enjoyed a fantastic debut season in Premiership Women's Rugby with Harlequins this season. The 20-year-old centre joined Quins from Barcelona at the start of the season and went on to score eight tries in 13 appearances. Pena will be looking to carry on from that stellar season with Spain, who are ranked 13th in the world and face a tricky group with clashes against New Zealand, Ireland and Japan. Sisilia Tuipulotu Tuipulotu has returned to the Wales team in time to compete in her second World Cup. The ball-carrying prop missed the Six Nations after undergoing hamstring surgery, but returned for Wales' warm-up series against Australia, which they drew 1-1. World Cups are a family affair for Tuipulotu after her father Sione played at the men's 1999 and 2007 editions. Braxton Sorensen-McGee Still only 18 years old, New Zealand's Sorensen-McGee has quickly become a much talked about talent. The full-back stood out in her first season of Super Rugby Aupiki, where she scored four tries during the competition and helped the Blues win the final against Matatu. She then made her Black Ferns debut against Australia on May 10 and made an instant impression, scoring two tries and subsequently earned a maiden World Cup call-up. Another young talent aiming to make her mark on the World Cup is 18-year-old Australia full-back Halse. The teenager made her Super Rugby Women's debut aged 16 and in the process became the joint-youngest NSW Waratahs player to do so. Halse became the youngest debutant for either the men's or women's Australia teams in May 2024 when she played against the United States and has so far earned 11 caps for the Wallaroos. Abby Dow With 54 caps to her name, Dow will be aiming to continue her impressive year at her second World Cup. The England winger is a crucial part of a formidable back three, which includes Ellie Kildunne and Jess Breach for Friday's opener against the United States. Dow comes into the tournament on the back of a successful Six Nations campaign, where she finished top of the try-scorers list with six tries as England were crowned victors.

Ireland's Stacey Flood aims to hit the ground running at World Cup
Stacey Flood insists that Ireland intend to start off as they mean to go on when they get their World Cup campaign underway against Japan this Sunday. Scott Bemand's team has taken its time to get into gear through the warm-up stage with Scotland shooting into a 14-0 lead in Cork and Canada amassing a 40-7 lead a week later before their hosts in Belfast found their feet. Avoiding a repeat against a Japanese team that is targeting a repeat of their men's side's famous defeat of the Springboks in England ten years ago will be first on the agenda as the Pool C story starts to be told. "From warm-up games, you don't want to go out the blocks too early and be performing 10 out of 10 because that's what the warm-up games are for: they are to learn what you need to do, right and wrong,' said Flood. 'I feel we got what we wanted out of those games. 'We found areas that we need to improve on, and we have been improving on them in the last few days. We started slow in those games, so that's going to be a big focus of ours going into the weekend, that we put our game out there first and we start fast. "We didn't get into the Irish way enough, starting our game as soon as we get onto the field. We kind of took 20 minutes to get into the games. 'That put us on the back foot in both games and waiting for something to happen, whereas we actually have to go out and put our front foot first and make things happen for ourselves.' Japan are ranked eleventh in the world, six places below Ireland, but they have benefited as much as anyone by the increased Test schedule of recent years thanks to the advent of the three-tier WXV series. Italy, Scotland and Wales have all been pushed to the pin of their collars and a first win over the USA, an historically strong presence in the women's game that has weakened in recent years, was another boon as they look to make an imprint of RWC25. "Japan are so diligent,' said Flood, the Irish full-back. 'They might not be the biggest team, but they're so skilful and their kicks are on a T, their passes are on a T, they're really good jackal threats. 'We know what they're good at, but it's also just about bringing back to our squad and what our strengths are and not playing too much to the opposition. When you start changing for other people, you go away from your own game. We're happy with where our game is and we know what we're good at.'

Stacey Flood: We can't be afraid of what people think of us
It's getting real now. The preparation, that started back in early June, is, for the most part, over. Two warm-up games, containing good, bad and ugly, are out of the way and in four days' time, Ireland will be back on the World Cup stage. It's been quite the journey. The 2017 home World Cup that promised so much, delivered little; nothing on the pitch and nothing in terms of a positive lasting legacy. Instead, the final play-off loss to Wales set Ireland on a qualifying path from which they could not find their way off; it culminated in a 2021 defeat to Scotland in Parma, that in turn preceded the players' letter of discontent with the IRFU, two captains stepping away in their prime and a wooden spoon. It seemed new rock bottoms were being found at every turn. But then, an upturn. Scott Bemand took over in 2023 and a WXV3 title arrived soon after. World Cup qualification and consecutive third-place finishes in the Six Nations were sealed, while Ireland recorded statement wins over Australia and New Zealand. Expectations were raised, and then somewhat tempered by the injury absences of Erin King, Dorothy Wall, Christy Haney, and Aoife Wafer, who is set to miss the first two games at least. The WXV successes took place away from the spotlight, in Dubai and Canada, while World Cup qualification was secured over a year ago. But soon the attention of the country will be on the team when they take on Japan at Franklin's Gardens on Sunday at noon (live on RTÉ2). "Having eyes on women's rugby and our team is never going to be a bad thing because we want the Irish people behind us," full-back Stacey Flood tells RTÉ Sport from the team's hotel, a stone's throw from the Silverstone racing circuit, in the UK Midlands. "We want the support. "If that's us going out and putting in a good performance or not getting the performance we want, we still want support from back home. "The green wave isn't about whether you are doing poorly or good, there are going to be ebbs and flows. "Not everything is going to be the best every time. It's about getting eyes on women's rugby 'cos this is going to be such a major pedestal for women's rugby. "I think this whole tournament is going to change the game. "We want to sell out stadiums, we want great crowds, and we are not going to get that if we sit back and are afraid to put out the performance we want or afraid of what people will think of us. "The fact that it's on the same time zone, that we are a 45-minute flight away, if people get behind us, that's exactly what we are looking for." Ireland had to stew on a late disappointing defeat to Scotland at the tail end of the Six Nations, while there was a sense of getting dirty diesel out of the system in the warm-up win over Scotland and loss to Canada. "You don't want to go out the blocks too early in warm-up games, and be performing 10 out of 10," says the Dubliner. "Hopefully that's what those games are for, to learn what you need to do right and wrong, learn what you can do better. "I feel like we got what we wanted out of them, found areas we need to improve on and we have been improving on them. "We started slow in those games and that's going to be a big focus this weekend. "We didn't get into the Irish way enough, like. We took 20 minutes to get into the games and that put us on the back foot. "We were waiting for something to happen but we have to go out and make things happen." Ireland have beaten Japan in six of their seven meetings, with the defeat coming in a tour match in 2022. Ireland trained just outside Northampton, with Aoife Wafer not among the group. Scott Bemand's side open their #RWC2025 campaign against Japan on Sunday #RTERugby #RTESport — RTÉ Sport (@RTEsport) August 20, 2025 "They are so diligent and they might not be the biggest but they are so skillful," said Flood, who represented Ireland at the Paris Olympics in Sevens last year, of the first Pool C opponents. "Their kicking and passing is on a tee. They are really good jackal threats. "We know what they are good at but it's about bringing it back to our squad and what we can do in a green jersey, and not playing up too much to the opposition. "When you start changing for other people you go away from your own game. We're happy with our game and we know we can get good bang for what we are good at." While the focus is fully on Lesley McKenzie's side, there's been plenty of time for the squad to relax. There's been golf, a visit to Oxford, a visit to a guide dog centre, hurling puckabouts, Eve Higgins' TikTok lip-syncing, a card game that got out of hand, Beth Buttimer's 20th birthday party, Niamh O'Dowd clocking up the biggest fines, and watching the sun set in the beautiful surroundings of the Whittlebury Park Hotel. The mood is good, and when Flood is asked about the potential of the team, she lights up even more. "Like Dannah [O'Brien], Dalto [Aoife Dalton], a lot of the girls are 20, 21, 22. I think there is no ceiling at the minute because their rugby-playing age is so old for how young they are and they are growing within the game," says the 29-year-old. "Aoife Dalton is one of our best defenders, our best attackers and she still has so much time to grow in a high-performance environment. "Having that age profile, this team is only going to build. "A little bit of experience at the top and I feel like if we get the most out of each other the team will keep growing."
