Anthony Eddy, the director of sevens and women’s rugby for the IRFU, has advised the union that he is stepping down from his role with immediate effect.

The Australian has been with the union since 2014 and the official statement from Lansdowne Road thanked him for his input, with particular mention made of the men’s sevens team qualifying for the Tokyo Olympics and the women’s equivalents reaching the final of the recent World Series event in Seville.
