The Ireland Women’s team kicked off their Rugby World Cup campaign in style, securing a win against Japan, and for Eve Higgins, it was extra sweet. Eve had another reason to celebrate over the weekend as she’s just welcomed a new member to the family - her little nephew! After Ireland’s first pool match in England on Sunday, Eve and her family shared a special celebration and were snapped cradling their arms.
