Ireland Women’s scrum half Ailsa Hughes spoke to Irish Rugby TV about the squad’s preparations for their eagerly-awaited clash with the USA at Energia Park on Sunday afternoon (kick-off 1pm).
Ailsa Hughes, the Railway Union and Leinster half-back, said: “We’ve had camps the last few weeks and prep-wise it has gone well. The USA have had two tough games (against New Zealand and England) so they will be ready and we have to show that we’re not a soft option.”
