Ireland Women will complete what has been a difficult season in the IRB World Sevens Series this weekend in the Amsterdam Sevens.
The tournament kicks off today with the Irish girls first match, against Spain, up at 12:26 UK/Irish time.
Further pool matches follow with New Zealand at 2:48 pm and the USA at 5:54 pm in what will be a difficult opening day for the young, inexperienced Irish side.
This season has been all about developing the Irish team and they showed some improvement last time out in China with a narrow loss to England in the pool games and two wins on the final day, against Brazil and China, to claim 10th place.
