Women: Ireland Squad for Olympic Sevens Repechage

by

John_s_version_1The Ireland Women Sevens side has been named for this weekend’s Olympic Repechage at the UCD Bowl. 

The twelve player squad features one Ulster player, Ashleigh Baxter, and will be captained by Leinster’s Lucy Mulhall (pictured above). Mulhall has certainly led from the front this season, topping the Irish squads tables for games played, tries, and points scored over the five tournaments of the World Rugby Women’s Sevens Series.

Seven’s regulars Louise Galvin and Nicole Cronin return from long term injury and the squad is bolstered by Ireland’s Six Nations captain, Niamh Briggs, who had a run out a couple of weeks ago in the European Grand Prix.
