TALLAGHT STADIUM SOLD OUT FOR DEAD RUBBER The FAI's announcement that Tallaght Stadium will be sold out for the visit of Georgia on Tuesday was perhaps unexpected, given that Ireland's task is one that won't require much in the way of vociferous backing.The 6-0 scoreline first leg scoreline that was secured in Tblisi on Friday night means that job is done for Eileen Gleeson's side, barring a collapse of almost unfathomable proportions against the team ranked 118th in the world.Much of the squad had experience of hammering Georgia twice, 11-0 and 9-0, in 2023 World Cup qualifying to fall back on, so the relatively slow start on Friday will have caused some frustration.Ireland peppered Georgia's goal for 37 minutes before captain Katie McCabe slotted home a penalty and they had to wait until the hour mark for Kyra Carusa to add a second.McCabe got her second and Jessie Stapleton found the net before injury-time goals from Marissa Sheva and Aoife Mannion made certain that Tuesday's return is nothing more than a formality.With a large crowd set to turn out on Tuesday night though, the experience of a big-match atmosphere is sure to serve Ireland well, ahead of the bigger task of facing Wales or Slovakia in round 2 of the play-offs.Ffion Morgan's late goal for Wales in the first leg gives them hopes of progression, with Slovakia
