Eve Higgins proving she is a quick learner

Having made her name with the Ireland Sevens squad, the 22-year-old is already impressing in her debut season in the TikTok Six Nations

Eve Higgins evades the tackle from Cyrielle Banet of France on her way to scoring a try during the TikTok Women's Six Nations Rugby Championship match at Stade Ernest Wallon in Toulouse. 

GIVEN her ability to steal through a gap or thieve a yard of grass it’s hard not to reach for a obvious pun when you hear the subject of Eve Higgins’ post-graduate studies in UCD.

“I’m doing my Masters in criminology. I’ve assignments and essays so the moments I don’t analyse rugby and focus on the rugby it’s filled with reading criminology theories.” Her own powers of evasion were beautifully underscored when her step left brilliant French out-half Laure Sansus for dead when getting Ireland’s only score last week.
