RWC Sevens 2018: Women’s Quarterfinals

by

Ireland Women Sevens crashed out of Cup contention following a 45 – 0 defeat by New Zealand Women in the Quarterfinals in San Francisco this morning.

Michaela Blyde and Portia Woodman caused the damage scoring three and two tries respectively with Niall Williams and Stacey Waaka also crossing in the one sided game.

Unfortunately for Ireland, who appeared to have given everything in their previous game against England,  they were well off the pace and struggled for possession throughout. However they will still be very disappointed with their 48% completed tackles stats.

Despite dropping out of the Cup Ireland still have the chance of improving on their top 8 finish as they will battle with Russia, Spain and Canada for fifth place overall. The draw for the 5th place matches is as follows.
