Ireland winger Beibhinn Parsons said that her side want to end the Women’s Six Nations on a high with a third home win of the campaign when they take on Scotland on Sunday.
Scott Bemand’s side have beaten Italy in Galway and Wales in Belfast and are aiming for victory over Scotland at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin in front of what is set to be a record crowd with over 28,000 tickets sold.
Parsons, who has scored three tries in those two wins, wants Ireland to produce a complete performance on Sunday after they failed to hit the heights of the win over Italy in their hard-fought victory against Wales last weekend.
“I don’t think it was our best performance. We definitely have some areas we need to improve on,” she told BBC Sport NI.
“We talked about having a fast start and I’m not really sure we got that on the weekend, so it’s wiped away any complacency that might have built up.
“I think this week we will go into with really sharp minds and know exactly what we want to execute on.”
A win would help Ireland finish third in the table again behind England and France, and Parsons believes finishing with a flourish on Sunday would show they are still on an upward trajectory after they were beaten by Scotland in last year’s tournament.
“We know we want to be a real contender in the Six Nations, a top two team in the tournament and a top four of the world and that means we have to focus on ourselves and what we want to execute,” she added.
“We’re targeting a home win.”
