Despite a stellar 2025 season, where theyve clinched major titles and showcased a blend of traditional and adventurous play, the team faces a psychological hurdle: they havent won in Dublin since 2012 and have lost three of their last four encounters against the Irish. This match is not just about the score; its about overcoming a mental block and solidifying their legacy.
