Ireland head coach Scott Bemand has publicly supported flanker Aoife Wafer, stating that she is “determined” to return to her peak performance in Saturday’s Women’s Six Nations match against Italy. Wafer’s contributions in the early stages of the tournament have been described as ‘quiet’ by some, but Bemand’s comments suggest he sees her strong desire to improve and make a significant impact.
The coach’s backing highlights the team’s belief in Wafer’s potential and his confidence in her ability to overcome any perceived dips in form. The upcoming fixture against Italy presents an immediate opportunity for Wafer to demonstrate her commitment and skill on the field, aiming to recapture the form that makes her a key player for the Irish side.
