Similar to the recent role of the men’s team against Cristiano Ronaldo, Ireland’s women will try to avoid becoming mere onlookers to Sam Kerr’s personal celebration at Tallaght Stadium.

Australia may be in Dublin for a friendly but their skipper and all-time leading scorer reaches a century of caps. The Chelsea forward is two strikes off hitting a half-century goal haul too.
