Ireland kick off their World Cup campaign against Australia in Sydney at 11am Irish time, where the excitement and satisfaction of qualification will mingle with the nerves of what is a daunting opening game.
Australia are on a very strong run of form – they’ve beaten Spain, France, and England across their last five games – although they were beaten by Scotland, whom Ireland overcame in their World Cup play-off.
Led by Sam Kerr and roared on by a sold-out, 75,000 crowd at Stadium Australia, the Matildas pose a major challenge for Ireland. But Ireland have overcome major challenges on the way to Australia, so can they shock the world later today?
