I had thought it was unusual that Team FRU stalwart Lucinda Kinghan had been left our of the Ireland Women’s Squad announcement the other day but before I got the jungle drums going to find out what the situation was in relation to the Monaghan star, it transpired that it was a typo in the IRFU presser.

Kinghan joins Brittany Hogan, Claire Boles and newcomers Maeve Liston and Mya Alcorn to take the Ulster player representation to 5 in the 26 player squad and she takes the Team FRU representation to 3 alongside Hogan and Enya Breen.

All five of the Ulster girls are playing their rugby outside of the province. #nothinglikeit

Kinghan made her debut for the Ireland 7s senior side in July 2019 at the Rugby Europe Sevens Grand Prix 2nd Leg in Kharkiv, Ukraine and was in the extended squad for the Hamilton leg of the 2020 World Rugby Seven Series.
