The fact that it’s been largely the same girls featuring in both competitions is maybe for another day, but it does speak highly of the professionalism of these amateurs who have been on the go, non stop, since this time last year.

In today’s pool games Ashleigh Baxter opened the scoring for Ireland in the RWC7’s with a try against South Africa. Ireland won their first game 12 – 5 with Lynne Cantwell scoring the second try, Jenny Murphy added the conversion.
