New coach prepares for 'cut-throat' Olympics campaign

Sean Dancer is relishing his new role as Ireland women's coach after meeting the squad for the first time.

The Australian, who was previously interim coach of the New Zealand women's team, takes over the Ireland post from Graham Shaw.

Ireland finished second at the 2018 World Cup and Dancer's focus is on securing a place at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, qualifying for which starts in June.
