Vera Pauw's Republic of Ireland team will spend the week in Duisburg preparing for next Saturday's crucial Euro 2021 qualifier against a formidable German side although Megan Connolly's education as to what will be required against the former world champions started last Sunday against Manchester City.

The former College Corinthians player was part of a Brighton & Hove Albion side that dug in for a shock 0-0 Women's Super League draw away to a team boasting ten England internationals and American World Cup winner Sam Mewis.
