Australian rules football

It didn't take long for Wall to display her combative and athletic prowess on a football field. Wall adapted smoothly to the Aussie rules style and was able to bring her unique blend of speed and strength to the forefront, which quickly became a problem for opposition defenders attempting to lessen her impact.
Playing all 13 games in her debut campaign, the Irishwoman booted six goals in total, including two critical ones against the Cats in difficult conditions in Round 4. Impressively, Wall was also able to consistently rake in contested grabs around the ground, making her a threat at ground level and aerially.

In August 2023, she joined up with the Ireland women's national rugby sevens team for the first time.
