Listen to the last episode:
It was a memorable weekend for Ireland after they secured automatic qualification for next year's World Cup in England.
Scott Bemand's team finished third in the Women's Six Nations table which also means they will play in Tier 1 of the WXV competition later this year.
Anna Caplice and Ali Donnelly joined Sinéad Kissane on the Left Wing podcast to review the campaign and discuss what needs to be done for Ireland to become World Cup ready.
