Aoife Wafer appears unlikely to feature in Ireland’s second World Cup game against Spain despite returning to training this week.

Ireland’s influential backrow, who has suffered a pair of knee injuries that left her battling to be fit for this tournament, only arrived in England last weekend, therefore missing the preparation for Sunday’s win over Japan.
