'We will not put on pants that are too big' - Vera Pauw buckling up for playoff decider

Ireland can take the next step to the World Cup when they face Finland next week. 

FINNISH IT: Manager Vera Pauw addresses the media at the Republic of Ireland WNT squad announcement today.

Vera Pauw is cautioning against Ireland getting caught short in next Thursday’s Women's World Cup playoff decider against Finland, stressing they’ve yet to earn their entitlement to don big trousers.

“We will not put on pants that are too big in size,” the Dutchwoman emphasised by way of analogy.
