, , ,

The 2017 Women’s Rugby World Cup kicks off in Dublin on Wednesday 9th August before moving north to Belfast for the knock out matches starting on 22nd August. Between now and then we will be bringing you interviews with the Ulster players involved in the World Cup Training squad.

We start off our coverage with a chat with Cooke Women RFC’s Ilse van Staden.

It’s been a long road for van Staden in pursuit of her dream to play rugby at the highest level, a dream that will hopefully be fulfilled this August should she be one of the select few to pull on the green jersey at the 2017 Women’s Rugby World Cup.

I caught up with Ilse last month at Ballylagan Organic Farm, Straid, where she works as a butcher. The farm specialises in producing organic meat and vegetables for the local community and beyond.
