Parsons, the team's all-time leading try-scorer, scored once in the first half and twice in the second half to help Ireland claim a hard-fought win after trailing for 20 minutes. Captain Erin King and Aoife Dalton (2) also scored, as Ireland closed out their WXV Global Series campaign. Unam Tose, Sizophila Solontsi, and Vainah Ubisi scored for the hosts, who were unable to avenge their 40-27 loss at the same venue last week.",
