, ,

We’ll be spending a bit more time on Sevens Rugby this summer with Ireland Men and Ireland Women both involved in Olympic Qualification and with an All Ireland Sevens Competition kicking off at the end of the month. 

In this article we’ll be looking at the Ireland Women Sevens side and we’ll start with a recap of their performance last weekend in the Canadian leg of the World Rugby Women’s Sevens Series in Langford. 

LANGFORD 7S WRAP

It was a comparatively young side that Ireland sent to Langford under the guidance of 7s Coach Stan McDowell and it contained two Ulster players in Brittany Hogan and Claire Boles.

There was a core of five experienced players including the 19 year old playmaker Eve Higgins who amassed 53 World Series matches by the end of the tournament. Higgins was joined by, top scorer, Amee-Leigh Murphy Crowe (107), Aoife Doyle (53), Hannah Tyrell (78) and Louise Galvin (70). (Appearances in brackets.)
