Beibhinn Parsons insists she really cannot complain as she surveys a sun-kissed Aviva Stadium field replete with delighted, rugby-playing children.

The Ireland wing is looking down on the annual ALDI Play Rugby Festival as kids from nationals schools from around the country grab their opportunity to play on the hallowed turf and a blitz that oozes positivity. Parsons, 24, is also full of the joys as she drinks in the spectacle and looks ahead to a return to action herself.
