Eddy dismisses claim IRFU favour sevens over 15-a-side women's game 

A number of players have missed out on Six Nations Championship encounters in recent years due to their sevens commitments, but Eddy insists one code isn't given priority over the other.

The IRFU Director of Women’s Rugby Anthony Eddy has refuted the suggestion that the union place a greater emphasis on the 7s code - to the detriment of its 15s counterpart - within the women’s game.

Eddy also doubles up as the IRFU’s Director of Rugby Sevens and played an integral role in the men’s squad reaching the Tokyo Olympics in the summer just past.
