Ireland woman were beat and will now have a play off for 7th place and will have to wait until next months Euros for a chance again to get to the World Cup.

Ireland men beat France in a shoot out and will play New Zealand in a 5th place play off winners going to the World Cup

feargale

What chance the Ireland women get to the World Cup? 50/50?

Not sure how the qualification will work, Ireland men finished 5th and will be at the World Cup.

Womans Euros are
Belgium
Czech Republic
England
Germany
Ireland
Netherlands
Scotland
Spain

How it works is that the winners have a qualification berth for the world cup, so i am guess if either Netherlands, Germany or England win then it will be the next highest ranked team.

Ireland will play England and Germany again and will be looking for pay back. Also Scotland is in that group.

Top 2 in each group will go to the semi finals bottom 2 in both groups will play each other in another group and the bottom 2 of that group will be relegated to the lower European comps.

So we have Australia, England and China in our group at the Hockey World up in Bhubaneshwar India in November
