Following Ireland's bonus-point 33-12 win over Wales, the Ireland Rugby Social sat down with injured forward Edel McMahon to look back on the impressive display.
Aoife Wafer and Brittany Hogan both registered two tries in Belfast, while Beibhinn Parsons also crossed to secure the crucial win for Scott Bemand's side.
The victory was Ireland's second of this Six Nations campaign and means they remain unbeaten at home.
"I think there was a part in that game that was very messy, particularly that second half, first 12 minutes, between two yellow cards, plenty of knock-ons and disruptions in scrum and line-out, but overall, I think Ireland will be happy," McMahon told the Ireland Rugby Social.
"They're scoring in every 20 minutes of the game, which is something that probably be aiming for.
"They've been a 60-minute performance team and they're trying to go for that 80, so to score every 20 minutes is probably something they'll be happy about."
Throughout the Six Nations, head coach Bemand has talked about the importance of winning all three home matches.
Now, heading into the final game, Ireland have the opportunity to complete this target when they welcome Scotland in front of what is set to be a record crowd at the Aviva Stadium.
"They [Scotland] haven't had the greatest tournament themselves so far. They're a proud nation. They're going to come and they will want to spoil the party next week," Ireland Social co-host Lindsay Peat added.
"I think it's a beautiful stadium, I finally got to play there with in the AIL [All-Ireland League] finals and there's a lovely freedom. If the girls play with that freedom, I think we will finally get to see this, when I say finally they've put in amazing performances, but just an overall fulfilment of what they can do within 80 minutes.
"It would be lovely to see for themselves, because I think they deserve it. So, it'll be interesting to see, but I think it's going to be a very good day and I think they will bring what they need to this party next week."
