Ireland's rugby team aims to win crucial moments against England in the Women's Six Nations.

Full-back Stacey Flood emphasizes the importance of winning the 'little moments' for Ireland when they face England in the Women's Six Nations match in Cork on Saturday. Flood, a sevens specialist and part of the Ireland team at the Paris Olympics, is back in the XVs fold. Ireland had a shock win over New Zealand and hopes for another upset. The team has improved significantly over the past year and is confident in their abilities and unity.

Flood, who can play multiple positions, welcomes the challenge of facing the Red Roses' back three. The kicking game has been a focus of their training and they aim to come out on top in battles.
