Ever since Columbanus landed in St Malo 1500 years ago, Irish men and women have taught & studied in France. Great to meet the Irish sisters and lay teachers @ Marymount today - celebrating 100 years in Paris & standing proudly in that unbroken tradition.

Job done. An Olympic milestone for Irish women’s rugby. See you all in Paris next year. @IrlEmbParis @WorldRugby7s

After 9 hours of continuous rugby in Toulouse Irish men’s sevens take the field against New Zealand. ⁦@IrishRugby⁩ ⁦@WorldRugby7s⁩
