You've met Kevin the Carrot, now be prepared to meet his iconic partner Katie, as she sprinkles her luck on the ladies in green.

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.
