Four Belvo Players Named in Ireland U20 Squad to Face Wales

/in

Old Belvedere RFC is proud to have four players selected in the Ireland U20 Women’s squad for the opening match of the Six Nations Summer Series against Wales this Saturday in Ystrad Mynach.

Jane Neill will captain the side from the second row, leading Ireland into her second Summer Series campaign. Fellow Belvo teammate Jade Gaffney starts at scrum-half and takes on the role of vice-captain, while Robyn O’Connor has been named in the starting XV, and Ellie O’Sullivan Sexton has been named among the replacements.

All four players represent Leinster and continue to demonstrate the strength of Old Belvedere’s player development pathway.

Kick-off is at 3:30 PM (Irish time) on Saturday, 5 July, and the match will be streamed live on IrishRugby+.

We wish Jane, Jade, Robyn, and Ellie the very best as they take the field in green.
