Leinster trio Erin King, Aoife Wafer and Vicki Elmes Kinlan have all been called up to the Sevens squad for the first time following their eye-catching performances in the U18 Sevens Inter-Provincial Series.
“I am confident we will find more girls capable of being included in this programme as we continue to build towards the 2024 Paris Olympics,” Eddy said of a panel which mixes youth and plenty of experience.
“We are always looking for talented athletes that have the ability to compete on the world stage with some of the best female athletes in the world.”
The Women’s World Sevens Series begins in Dubai on 3/4 December before a stop in Cape Town on 10-12 December.
