New Ireland women’s 15s coach Greg McWilliams has all but acknowledged that a number of the contracted sevens players in his Ireland squad for the upcoming TikTok Six Nations will not be available to him for the back end of the campaign.

The traditional code’s Championship gets underway this Saturday with Wales visiting the RDS first up but the last round clash, at home to Scotland, will coincide with a round of the HSBC World Series sevens in Vancouver Island.
