Ireland Men’s Sevens Squad Announced for Rugby Europe Men’s Division C Tournament
The Ireland Men’s Sevens Squad to take part in Rugby Europe Men’s Division C tournament in Bosnia this weekend has been named.

Ireland are placed in pool B alongside Turkey, Belarus and Montenegro. Leinster Academy player Tom Daly has been named as Captain of the side.

Speaking ahead of the tournament, Anthony Eddy, IRFU Director of Rugby Sevens said “The panel has progressed in a short space of time. It is our ambition to be a part of the Sevens World Series by the end of 2017 whilst also having an outside chance for Olympic qualification in Rio in 2016.”

The Wolfhounds played their first tournament last week and came forth overall. We hope to build on that result this week in the Europeans. It’s going to be tough, but we feel we’re really going to progress as the season goes on as these players develop their ability to play international rugby at this level.”

The top four teams from this tournament will be promoted to Division B and compete in Croatia on 20 -21 June.

The highest ranked eligible team from Division B qualifies to participate in the Rugby Europe Olympic Repechage Tournament which will take place in Lisbon on the 18-19 July.

The winner of the Lisbon tournament will then have the opportunity to compete in the World Olympic Repechage in 2016 to secure the last spot for Rio 2016.
