Harry McNulty and Lucy Rock will captain the Irish teams in Paris next month.
IRELAND AND LEINSTER star Hugo Keenan will be part of the Ireland men’s 7s team’s push for an Olympic medal next month after being confirmed as part of the final 12-player squad for Paris.
The in-form Zac Ward, Niall Comerford, Keenan, and Connacht duo Andrew Smith – who also recently returned to the 7s squad from professional 15s – and Chay Mullins will feature in the Olympics for the first time. Long-time key players Amee-Leigh Murphy Crowe, Stacey Flood, and Eve Higgins will be central to Ireland’s medal hopes, while Emily Lane, Kathy Baker, Megan Burns, Alanna Fitzpatrick, Erin King, Vicky Elmes Kinlan, Ashleigh Orchard, and Ireland 15s star Béibhinn Parsons make up the rest of head coach Allan Temple-Jones’ squad.
“It is a landmark and proud day for us to confirm our men’s and women’s sevens squads to represent Team Ireland at Paris 2024,” said IRFU performance director David Nucifora.
