Humphreys doubts Irish 7’s viability

FORMER Ireland out-half David Humphreys raised concerns regarding Ireland’s capacity to field a competitive team at the 2016 Olympic Games when he launched the Heineken Kinsale Sevens last night.

Humphreys played a considerable amount of the shortened version of the game and his brother, Ian, captained Ireland at the Rugby World Cup sevens in Hong Kong in 2005.

“It would be a massive undertaking in every respect but I believe it would be good for the game in this country should it come about,” said Humphreys.
