Head coach Scott Bemand will be missing tighthead prop Christy Haney for games against New Zealand, Canada and the USA
head coach Scott Bemand has included four uncapped players in a 30-strong Ireland squad that will depart for Vancouver on Friday ahead of the WXV1 tournament where they will face New Zealand, Canada and the USA.
Unfortunately, tighthead prop Christy Haney, who played against the Wallaroos, has been ruled out through injury. Cooke and Ulster frontrow Sadhbh McGrath’s return to fitness is timely. Ireland will also be without wing Béibhinn Parsons, scrumhalf Aoibheann Reilly and secondrow Sam Monaghan.Why a British-Irish league would not be the solution rugby needs
Bemand said: “We are delighted to confirm our 30-player squad to travel to Vancouver for our debut appearance at WXV1. We have spoken consistently about building strong squad depth within the group, and the performance against Australia and training intensity of the last two weeks, presented the coaching team with a number of difficult selection decisions.
