Ireland vs. Spain: Pool C of the Women’s Rugby World Cup

Date: Sunday, August 31; Kick-off: 12:00 BST

Linda Djougang, the front row for Ireland, claims that her persistence has helped her become almost “ever-present” and captained her country in Sunday’s Rugby World Cup game against Spain.

Since making her international debut against England in 2019, the Cameroonian prop has only played one game for Ireland.

It elicits incredible feelings. This week has been the first time I really thought about it. Never did I even consider this when I first started playing rugby. I had no idea I’d make this achievement, Djougang said.

I make an effort to do my best every game. It means a lot to me to let the other squad members know they can also join them.

The 29-year-old claims that she never takes selection into her own hands.

You never want to feel at ease, they say. You want to present your hand for selection during each training session. Rugby is a game that is notoriously unpredictable, as we all know.

“I train like I’m on the bench, and I want to start for the first team.” This achievement demonstrates my abilities and encourages me to strive for more.

I’ll celebrate with the girls because their journey began with them and this milestone deserves to be celebrated with them. “It’s nice to be reminded of the accomplishment.

Before Sunday’s game in Northampton, Ireland head coach Scott Bemand praised Djougang’s impact and her influence on the squad.

Linda is a remarkable player and person. She has such a high level of resilience and robustness that she can play both scrum and scrum.

It’s an incredible feat of perseverance and improvement. She is at the center of our journey, our current state, and our current direction.
