IRELAND’S MEN’S AND women’s Sevens teams fell to two defeats each as they made poor starts to their respective HSBC SVNS Round 3 campaigns in Perth.
Advertisement Allan Temple-Jones’ women’s outfit, who won the Perth leg last year, also brought with them far less experience for the 2025 edition. They dropped their first game to Japan 14-7 before running into a prolific New Zealand team who hit them for eight tries in a 46-0 demolition. In their second fixture of the Australian evening, Alejandro Laforja gave Spain an early lead against the men in green before Eduardo Lopez struck on the double. All three tries were converted by Juan Ramos for a 21-0 Spanish lead before Inigo Cruise O’Brien responded for Ireland with an unconverted score shortly after the break.
Japan, however, turned the game on its head through tries on either side of the break by Chieaki Saegusa and Suzuha Okamoto, both of which were converted by Hana Nagata.
