Scott Bemand's side were leading by 19 points at one stage.
Ireland women's rugby head coach Scott Bemand has described yesterday's defeat to the USA as a "first blip" during his tenure.
The hosts blew a 19-point lead at Tallaght Stadium, as the Americans ran out 40-36 winners.
Aoife Dalton started the game before being replaced early on by Anna McGann.
Bemand admits his side will have to get more creative in dealing with physically dominant teams:
