Republic of Ireland: Hayley Nolan, Lily Agg, Kyra Carusa
Lily Agg and Kyra Carusa added another international cap to their collections as the Republic of Ireland played out a scoreless draw with China on Wednesday.
The Girls in Green produced a solid defensive performance in the face of serious pressure from China, another squad deep in their preparations for the FIFA Women’s World Cup. Hayley Nolan was an unused substitute.

Scotland: Jamie-Lee Napier
Jamie-Lee Napier made her senior international debut for Scotland in the Pinatar Cup versus the Philippines, appearing as a late substitute for Pedro Martínez Losa’s side.
The 22-year-old played an important role for Scotland in their win over the Philippines, making a key interception in midfield and completing all of her passes.
“I think now is the perfect time to get back into the squad, it feels like a fresh start,” said Napier before the break. “It feels like the ideal time for me to settle in, make my mark, and hopefully turn this into the first of many call-ups.”
The Scottish FA is yet to announce their schedule for the rest of the season, with friendlies anticipated for the months ahead.
Wednesday, 15 February: Iceland 2-0 Scotland
Saturday, 18 February: Scotland 2-1 Philippines
Tuesday, 21 February: Scotland 1-1 Wales
