Neve Jones and Beibhinn Parsons helped themselves to a brace of tries at The Sevens Stadium in Dubai on Saturday as theScott Bemand’s side ran in a grand total of 10 tries to move a single point clear of Spain at the third-tier summit ahead of their crunch meeting next Saturday – a game that will effectively decide who gains promotion to WXV 2 for 2024.
A late addition to the starting line-up in place of Nicole Fowley, O’Brien combined to good effect with Eve Higgins before releasing Natasja Behan for a simple finish in the left-corner on 11 minutes.
Just over 60 seconds had elapsed in the second half when Parsons rounded off another intricate attack for Ireland’s seventh try of the evening. There had been a strong spread of scorers up to this point, but the dynamic Jones became the first player to secure a double when she applied the finishing touches to a maul on 51 minutes.
