Ireland midfielder Megan Connolly feels Ireland shouldn’t settle for third place as they attempt to kill off Poland’s chase in tomorrow’s World Cup qualifier.

Tuesday’s 3-2 victory in Gdansk means that if Ireland repeat the win, and Netherlands beat France again on the same day, then they will be level with the French heading into the final pair of fixtures.
