They've been training for years, pushing their bodies to the limits, becoming masters of their sport, and now, they're ready to fly the flag for Ireland.
The Irish Women's Rugby Team are all set to represent our nation as they take on the best sides in the world and as we watch from the sidelines, we're doing everything we can to show the team the support they deserve.
We're lighting candles, wearing our lucky pants and saluting every pair of magpies that come our way to maximise our collective luck and direct it towards the Irish squad.
We've got our fingers, toes and everything crossed for the Irish Women's Rugby Team, and we're not alone in doing all we can to send the team our very best vibes.
ALDI have solidified their support for the Irish Women's Rugby Team with the appointment of Katie the Carrot as the team's Chief Luck Officer (CLO). The squad have been preparing for this moment for their whole lives, they have the talent and the determination to go far, and a nation of supporters behind them.
Speaking about the appointment of Katie the Carrot as Chief Luck Officer, Béibhinn Parsons, ALDI Play Rugby ambassador and Ireland international said: "I am delighted about Katie the Carrot’s appointment as Chief Luck Officer. As we prepare to take on the best teams in the world, it’s great to know that Katie will be there to bring the luck of the Irish. It’s shaping up to be a brilliant month for women’s rugby and we hope the entire country will get behind us!"
