Ciara Griffin: Talk sounds good but actions speak louder for Bemand and Ireland

Ireland host Wales (4.45pm), the visitors also in search of their first win of the campaign and will be hurting from the losses to Scotland and England. A Welsh team travelling with a point to prove can be extremely difficult to control.

‘We’re here to fire some shots’ has been head coach Scott Bemand’s mantra for this Guinness Women’s Six Nations.

It sounds good but, actions speak louder than words. Unfortunately, we have not seen these shots thus far but Cork on Saturday, in front of a large Virgin Media Park crowd, provides a prime opportunity to let actions do the talking.
