Eve Higgins comfortable in the spotlight as Ireland’s centre of attention

Eve Higgins comfortable in the spotlight as Ireland’s centre of attentionShe won the player-of-the-match in the 2022 Women’s AIL Final when Railway Union beat Blackrock College 24-18, a match that contained rugby of a quality that arguably hasn’t been seen since in an Irish context at provincial, or even Test level.

“When she was playing underage, she played 10 for us. I banned her from scoring tries from first phase. I said, ‘I just don’t want you running through people from 10, you have to pass the ball. I want you to get a second and third touch.’ She went, ‘okay’. That was on a Tuesday and two nights later she approached Cronin and said: “I read the quote, ‘if I touch the ball once something will happen, if I touch the ball twice, we will score, if I touch the ball three times I will score’.”
