Skurr upbeat despite spate of late injuries

Despite incurring a number of late injuries, Irish coach Jon Skurr, insists his side is ready for this weekend’s Women’s Sevens World Cup in Moscow.

Though Skurr must plan without Niamh Briggs, Aisling Hutchings, Claire Keohane, Niamh Kavanagh and Carol Staunton, he was in confident mood before departing for the Russian capital.

“The injuries have come at a bad time, but first and foremost you have to be disappointed for the girls. It’s tough because they had earned the right to wear the jersey but have lost out through injury.
