July 15th 2008

As we all know, a number of Cornish Pirates players have had a particularly busy summer, including speedsters Rhodri McAtee and Brian Tuohy.

Rhodri, besides getting married, has also spent time with the Welsh Sevens team, helping them in their attempt to secure a place in next year's 2009 World Cup Sevens tournament to be held in Dubai, and in Hannover, Germany.

Last weekend it was a case of mission accomplished at the FIRA-AER European Sevens Championships, as Wales qualified on Saturday as winners of Pool B

 

Ireland also achieved World Cup qualification as runners-up in Pool B, with another Cornish Pirates player, Brian Tuohy, playing his part.

Besides his 'Sevens' involvement, Brian also impressed for Ireland 'A' in the recent Churchill Cup competition, playing the full 80 minutes in each of their games played in Canada and the USA.
