Caroline Mahon included in Ireland Rugby World Cup squad
NEWBRIDGE College teacher Caroline Mahon has been named on the Ireland women’s rugby squad for the forthcoming World Cup in England. The UL Bohemians club player is part of a 26 strong squad that will take on England, the USA and Kazakhstan in the pool stages of the tournament which gets underway next month.
Caroline has been playing internationally for four years and in her debut season represented her country in both the Six Nations and the World Cup. Despite her experience she is both delighted and relieved to be part of the squad for next month’s showcase.
“I’m really thrilled. You can’t take anything for granted. It’s tougher now to hold to your place than it was when I first started because there is so much competition for positions,” Caroline told the Leinster Leader this week.
Mahon plays her club rugby with UL Bohemians and is joined by no less than eight of her club mates on the panel for the World Cup. She also lines out for Leinster and indeed has captained her province in the past.
Meanwhile Ireland captain Fiona Coughlan will have the support of Straffan behind her as her parents reside in the Kildare village, while fellow squad member Sinead Ryan is employed at Pfizer in Newbridge.
Ireland will open their World Cup campaign with a tough encounter against host team and one of the pre-tournament favourites England. The game will be televised live on Sky Sports. Ireland then play former winners and three time finalists USA in their second game with the final pool game against Kazakhstan four days later. All the pool games are set to be played in the Surrey Sports Camp which will serve as the Rugby World Cup village for all participating teams.
