Ireland Women Sevens finish Langford Day 2 on a high

Ireland Women Sevens team finished the Canadian leg of the 2017 Women’s Sevens World Series on a high with a Day 2 win against England. The win gives Ireland their highest finish in the series this season and a first win against England in the Series.

We’d predicted that Ireland would lose their Cup quarterfinal match against France, leaving them with a “winnable” playoff match against an out of sorts Russia.  The match against France went according to form with Stacy Flood the only scorer for Ireland in a 19 – 5 defeat but, unfortunately, a rejuvenated  Russia also turned Ireland over with a comfortable 17 – 0 win.

The defeat left Ireland facing England and the familiar scenario of a Day 2 whitewash, the team yet to record a win this series against the Top 8 team in the knockout stages.

However, despite going behind to an early try, Ireland struck back with scores from Louise Galvin and Lucy Mulhall, both converted by Mulhall, to give Ireland a 14 – 10 win, England scoring a late consolation try . . .
