Six-Try Success Sends Ireland Women Through To Quarter-Finals of the Rugby Europe Women’s Sevens Grand Prix and they will face the English

The Ireland Women’s team overcame the Ukraine 38-7 to finish third in Pool B and qualify for the quarter-finals of the Rugby Europe Women’s Sevens Grand Prix Series tournament in Kazan, Russia. Anthony Eddy’s side will face England in the last-eight tomorrow.

Ireland included two international Sevens newcomers in their starting line-up for the Spain game – captain Lucy Mulhall and Louise Galvin, the Kerry Ladies footballer who has joined the Sevens programme.

Jenny Murphy, who is coming back from a shoulder injury she sustained at the recent Amsterdam Sevens tournament, was replaced in the playing squad by Laura Lee Walsh. “Jenny is just not 100% yet and should be ready for Brive next weekend,” explained team manager Gillian McDarby. “She is a big loss to us, however Laura Lee Walsh adds great depth to the squad.”….. full story on >> http://www.irishrugby.ie/news/34805.php#.VXxxRflViko
