LOUISE GALVIN RETURNS to the Ireland Women’s Sevens squad for the second leg of the HSBC World Series which kicks off in Dubai on Thursday.
Galvin missed out on the opening round in Arizona, where Ireland finished sixth, through injury but returns to Anthony Eddy’s squad.
The 12-player panel also includes Brittany Hogan, who featured in the Rugby Europe Sevens Grand Prix in Kazan in September and is now set to make her World Series debut.
