Ireland Women 7s: Mya Alcorn makes Ireland Select

We are currently carrying out a necessary behind-the-scenes upgrade to how images are stored and delivered on The Front Row Union Sports. With over 770,000 images on the site, we are moving our entire image library to a dedicated cloud storage service. This means images will load faster for you, regardless of where you are in the world, and the site will be more reliable overall.

As we are working on three separate versions of images during the offload process, the site cache sometimes struggles to keep up with which version to display and occasionally post grid images or complete galleries may fail to appear. This is a temporary side effect of the migration process — the image exists and is safe, it is simply in the process of being moved to its new home and identified as being there. A refresh of the page will usually bring them back, however, if it does not please contact john@thefrontrowunion.com stating clearly the post address and we will restore it as soon as possible. We apologise for any inconvenience this causes and appreciate your patience.

We expect the bulk of the image migration to be completed by the end of June 2026, with a fully upgraded version of the site ready to launch in August 2026. Once that work is done, the site will be noticeably faster, images will load more reliably, and you will not see any further disruption of this kind. Thank you for your continued support of The Front Row Union Sports.

Alcorn first came to our attention in the summer of 2016 in a couple of hit outs for Ulster U18 ahead of the Interprovincials.

Mya Alcorn breaks clear for Ulster U18 against Munster U18’s

She certainly fulfilled her promise during the interpros for a couple of seasons before injury struck but we’ve caught up with her more recently at the Girls Schools Cup Final at Ravenhill and she has been heavily involved with the Ireland U18 7s programme over the last few years. Delighted to see she has now progressed to the seniors.

There are not a lot of details out there about the tournament which is understandable. It has been hastily arranged between the IRFU and Team GB to give game time to Ireland Men 7s ahead of their Olympic Repechage Tournament which takes pace on 19th June and to give some game time to the Team GB 7s squads ahead of their Olympic appearances in July.

Video highlights packages will be available across Irish Rugby digital channels each day, while there will be full coverage of the HPC International 7s on IrishRugby.ie. so keep an eye on the IRFU social channels and you might get a quick glimpse of this Ulster flyer. 🙂
