The Ireland women’s sevens squad to participate in the Women’s Invitational Dubai Sevens has been named.<\/p>\n

Alison Miller makes her competitive return to the Seven’s set-up having signed-up to the sevens programme at the beginning of the season. As well as representing Ireland in the Women’s Rugby World Cup in France in August, Alison was a member of the Ireland Sevens squad last season.<\/p>\n

Susan Vaughan also makes her return to the squad replacing Shannon Houston who sustained a back injury in a warm up fixture against the Australia Tribe’s last week.
\nJenny Murphy has been named captain for the tournament and for the remainder of the season.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the change in captaincy, Jon Skurr said “Shannon has done an outstanding job as captain over the last year and has led from the front throughout this period.\u201d<\/p>\n

“Shannon has been a great captain and has helped support and develop a number of players who have crossed over into the sport. What is even more remarkable, is that she managed to combine the role of captain with her day job as a Doctor.\u201d<\/p>\n

“We would like to take this opportunity to thank her for the leadership of the team and the way she conducted herself throughout her time as captain.\u201d<\/p>\n
