IRELAND CLAIM DUTCH DOUBLE
IRELAND’S men and women were both convincing winners in senior internationals against the Netherlands, played at RC The Bassetts in Sassenheim.
Ireland’s women, who are preparing for the World Series in Canada with a spot at next year’s World Cup at stake, scored eight tries in a 42-6 triumph.
Their men were equally dominant in the second part of a double-header, winning 30-0.
The first kick-off was slightly delayed due to a late incoming flight with several of the Irish players on board, and the games were played in blustery and heavy rain conditions due to Storm Amy.
