Australian sensation Mary Fowler admits she was tempted to declare for Ireland, whom she’ll be facing in their Women’s World Cup opener in Sydney on July 20.
Fowler’s Dad Kevin was born in Ballymun and while her two siblings were part of Irish underage camps, Mary opted to stick with the Matildas when the offer to defect was tabled.
