    That would have been cruel if they'd lost at the death like that

    Indeed! Now two games to win to Rio! Spain or HK main rivals, aren't they?

    Sorry if this has been asked before, but what happens after the pool stage? Is it straight to semi finals with the other 3 pool winners?

    Quarter Finals, Ireland will play either the 1st or 2nd in Pool D depending on final position.

    All 16 go on to knockout day but just top 8 have a chance of making Rio. There is Plate, Bowl finals

    Spain lose to Hong Kong so Ireland's Quarter final tomorrow is against Spain. 10.43 am it seems.

    Watched the matches today and I really thought the effort they put in was terrific. They may not win the tournament but they have certainly gone up another level since I watched them last year.

    Hopefully the IRFU continues to support them and that they can ultimately qualify for the World Rugby Sevens Series which is where they would really learn.

    Getting to World series is needed but what we really need is more 7s tournaments at age grade and open club level. The age grade shouldn't be schools/clubs but open competitions and imo better all club based with all representing clubs as this can get those in rugby schools linked in to clubs. There should be regional/county/divisional/provincial competitions
