Scott Bemand’s Ireland senior women’s team, Andy Farrell’s senior men and James Topping’s men’s Sevens side are all in the running for the Dave Guiney Team of the Year accolade.
The women’s XVs have enjoyed a resurgent 2024, from a third-place Six Nations finish to qualification for WXV1 and the 2025 World Cup. They stunned New Zealand in their WXV1 opener, and also defeated USA as they finished runners-up in Vancouver last month.
Farrell’s men won back-to-back Six Nations, while the Sevens side finished second in the Europe Championship and sixth at the Olympic Games in Paris.
The winners will be unveiled at the annual Rugby Writers of Ireland awards on Tuesday 19 November
