Ambitious Niamh Briggs targeting World Cup glory on home soil

Ireland skipper Niamh Briggs has told her team-mates to embrace their ‘once in a generation’ chance to win a World Cup on home soil.

The UL Bohemian player will compete in her third World Cup when Ireland clash with Australia at the UCD Bowl in just over a fortnight.

But it’s her first on home soil, and after helping the country to a fourth place finish in the last tournament, the Munster full-back has her sights set on going further this time around.
