Wales must 'bin' Netherlands result before France
Wales' most-capped player Jess Fishlock says she "believes 100%," that her side can spring a surprise against France at Euro 2025 and has urged her teammates to put their 3-0 opening defeat to Netherlands "in the bin".Fishlock, Wales' all-time leading scorer, has won league titles in six different countries but like the rest of her teammates, is competing in a major international tournament for the first huge underdogs in group D, Wales are being written off as no-hopers by many having suffered a chastening defeat in their opening game in Lucerne. Their next match is an equally daunting test in St Gallen as Wales face a France side who won their opening contest 2-1 against reigning champions England."I know us as a group, we will refocus, we will learn really fast and we're really excited to get back on the field on Wednesday," Fishlock told BBC Sport Wales. "If you're going to ask me if I still believe that then I will sit here and say wholeheartedly; I still believe."The biggest message is not to dwell too much on the game and the loss. I think we really need to take what we need to take from it and move forward and throw the rest in the bin."I think that's my favourite saying all the time is take what you need to take and throw the rest in the bin. It's not going to help you and if it's not going to help you it's just going to hurt you." Fishlock, 38, feels Wales have the mindset to bounce back and pull off a shock."Do I think we can surprise people? Absolutely," she said."I think this team is still on a journey, it's not like we qualified for the Euros and all of a sudden everything is perfect, that's just not how this sport works. "We are in a group with three unbelievably great teams and yes we have to learn perhaps a little bit faster than usual but do I believe that we can do that? 100%, I have full confidence in this group to continue on this path now."We had our journey to get here, we've done that, now our journey is getting up to another level… and if there's a team that can bounce back and do that, it is Wales." Fishlock believes the key to Wales shocking France will be nullifying their threat and picking their moments to strike, having failed to register a shot on target in their opening match."France are a great team," she added."They'll cause us different problems to Holland, I think. They're very powerful, very comfortable on the ball, love wide areas. "They're very good but we can be very good too and we just have to work together and nullify them as much as possible and then try and expose them with the players that we have. So we'll be doing a lot of work on that, I'm sure."We don't have to win it in the first five minutes. We have to stay in it as long as possible and use the players that we have. We have some fantastic players that can cause damage to any team."Wales have received a boost for the game against France with the news that midfielder Ceri Holland is fit to Liverpool midfielder was substituted against Netherlands after going down with what appeared to be a muscular injury, but thankfully from a Welsh perspective it was only cramp."I am ready to go," Holland confirmed.

Niamh Gallagher hails Ireland's resolves in Wales win
Niamh Gallagher hailed the way Ireland were able to withstand early Welsh pressure during her side's battling 27-10 win over the hosts in their 2025 Six Nations Women's Summer Series opener. Tries from Sophie Barrett, Robyn O'Connor, Hannah Clarke, Jemima Adams-Verling and Ellie O'Sullivan-Sexton were enough to ultimately seal the triumph for the team in green, but they did not have things all their own way at the Centre for Sporting Excellence in Ystrad Mynach, Caerphilly. Ireland spent much of the opening 10 minutes inside their own 22 thanks to a period of early Welsh dominance. Wales also twice got themselves within five points of their opponents, at 10-5 and 15-10, through scores from Savannah Picton-Powell and Seren Singleton. Full time in Wales and it's an opening win for the @PwCIreland Ireland Women's U-20 in the @SixNationsU20 Summer Series 👏🏼 — Irish Rugby (@IrishRugby) July 5, 2025 But after staving off a sustained assault on their tryline, Ireland responded by taking the lead midway through the first half when prop Barrett dived over off the back of a rolling maul. And Gallagher, who played in Clarke for Ireland's third try during the second half, was delighted that their defensive efforts allowed them to kick-on towards victory. 'Getting a win to start the tournament is unbelievable, start as we mean to go on,' she said. 'There's so much more to see from us. It was a tough one, we were in our half for most of that game. 'We just thought we needed to get it out of our area and play up field. And then when we did get it up there, we showed them what we could do.' Amidst the driving rain, the encounter proved to be a physical test for both sides, with neither team letting up in the tackle. It was a gameplan Gallagher expected from her team's opponents and explained the importance of both forcing Wales into making errors, whilst keeping their own standards high. 'We knew that Wales were going to be a physical team,' she continued. 'We wanted to match that and make sure that we kept the ball and play on our terms. 'It was tough that Wales did stick to being dominant, but we knew we had to get up in their faces and try and make them make mistakes. 'We knew we had to be clinical in our own areas too and I think we were able to do that.' Next up for Ireland is a clash against France, who also won their opening match beating Italy 46-5, and Gallagher believes her side have got the tools to more than put up a fight. She added: 'We've got an excellent back three that we just want to get the ball out to. 'We're also getting there when it comes to securing our breakdowns which is good but of course, we can always look to improve our defence.'

My old music teacher even messaged me and my mum told me I'd gone viral. I still don't think she knows what that means, so Christ knows who told her that. Whilst I was the one on the screen, I was far from the only one feeling that way. I'm very grateful that the emotion was captured yesterday. A great memory and memento of the day." Ahead of the game, Welsh and Dutch fans walked together to the stadium, 8,000 joined together, with what the FAW has said was the biggest fan walk in women's Euro history. In the post match press conference, manager Rhian Wilkinson told journalists the fans had made a huge difference. "Even better," said Wilkinson, when asked whether the support was as good as the players had dreamt of. "I spoke to the players before the game as well, and I said: 'These people have shown up to thank you for getting them there. "They want to see you give it everything you have and they're right there behind you.' And that's exactly what they did. "From the second I walked out before the players, I got a little bit intimidated, it was quite emotional.
