Parsons, who is just 18, has taken the tournament by storm, scoring two tries in the opening two rounds of Ireland's campaign.  Speaking about Beibhinn, Ireland head coach Griggs said,

"It’s been a couple of big weeks for Beibhinn, but we spoke to her and came up with a plan at the start," "Her studies are very important so we’ll be giving her the time off and she’ll concentrate on her Leaving Cert and come back to us in the summer."
