Harry McNulty: I cried when we qualified for the World Series

The Irish Men’s Sevens player says going for a hike or going out into nature helps to cheer him up if he is having a bad day

It's bright and early in sunny Cape Town when I chat with rugby player Harry McNulty on Zoom. The 29-year-old was in South Africa for the Cape Town leg of the 2022/23 Sevens World Series before heading to Kenya. “It’s 25ºC and blue skies here in Cape Town so it’s hard to complain,” he says. While the Irish Men’s Sevens player currently has a rigorous rugby schedule, in his downtime, he likes to lean into his love for
photography and content creation and is hosting a photography safari when he lands in Kenya.

“I do a lot of the content creation stuff so I do find that I will pick certain days off or certain parts of the year where I’ll go out and I’ll go and take some photos or go for some hikes, enjoy myself and get that fresh air,” says the World Cup Sevens Bronze medallist. “It’s a really nice feeling just being able to go out and explore and find new things.”
