Wow Harry McNulty is back. Great to see.

Must be really having a go at Olympics in the MLR off season.

Delighted for him and the team. He's one of the originals and has been one of the most consistent players over the last few years

Two weeks to the big one. McNulty being back is a huge bonus for us.

MLR isnt in off season so surprised he's back. LA do have a bye round though this weekend...

Very surprised to see him back. Appreciate it's an important tournament coming up, but he left the system to go play MLR 6 months ago, all power to him by the way. Would they not be better off picking someone who is based here anyway and has been with the 7's camp these past few months rather than playing a few games in MLR then straight back to play 7's? Just seems a bit much, we wouldn't pick someone in 15's from abroad, but we fly someone back in for the Olympic 7's qualifications, from 15's. Strange one.

He's not only one of Ireland's best, he's one of the best sevens players anywhere. Well worth bringing him back for this.

Class kit though in fairness to them

VillaMad

Ireland were always going to hammer Mexico in that one but they were very sloppy. Will need to it clean it up big time.

Hope the Dardis injury doesn't keep him out of tomorrow's games. Who will have in the semis?

TheAnalyst_

Super stuff. Missing the quality restarts and goal kicking though.

Depending on how we do against Samoa. France or Hong Kong

VillaMad

Much better performance that. Conroy and Kennedy are firing.

Through to the semi-final tomorrow now so the game against Samoa won't matter too much.

eagle eye

Great performance there. Fully committed from the beginning to the end.
Kennedy was excellent and I think it was three tries from three touches for Conroy. McNulty was brilliant too.

Main thing is avoid injuries in it
