Ireland prepares for five upcoming WXV rugby test matches

Ireland wing Anna McGann confirmed the squad’s objective to secure five victories during the upcoming WXV series. Scott Bemand manages the team as they look to build on progress made since the World Cup and the recent Six Nations. The schedule includes a match against the US at Tallaght Stadium on September 20, followed by two fixtures against Japan at the Dexcom Stadium in Galway and Virgin Media Park in Cork on September 27 and October 3. The campaign concludes with two matches against South Africa in late October. McGann noted that the squad has returned to training at a higher level and remains focused on depth development and performance consistency. The team aims to utilize these tests against top-tier nations to establish themselves as a global competitor.
