    Can’t believe the Germans went for a drop goal penalty when 10-5 up which they missed. Another try there and curtains. Conroy a great finisher but the tackling is a bit iffy!!

    Great win.

    Yes those 2 conversions were unreal. 5-10 down I though we were sussed at the breakdown. McNulty again winning the restart and giving the platform. Just 1 more win needed...

    Come on Hong Kong now!

    Heat and humidity the biggest worry. They wilted badly against Uruguay after looking well on top. The longer final (2 x 10) will be a rest.

    Brilliant first half, Ireland gone in 14-0 and HK have barely had a sniff the entire game.

    Very good first half anyway. 10 minutes away from the main tournament proper.

    Fantastic display from the lads, considering where they were 3 years ago playing in Europe B, to now be a core side in the World Series is absolutely immense, and a massive achievement for not only the players but for the coaching staff and the IRFU for putting the correct structures in place.

    Excellent, made it look routine. A black mark in Irish rugby corrected as regards our absence from the 7s circuit.

    Massive pressure off them now in terms of the 7s series, once they're in they'll be far too good to have to worry about relegation, they should realistically aim for mid table next year and build from there.

    Olympic qualification the next big goal presumably?

    Superb achievement for that group of players. One hell of a journey. Good news for the Leavy family this week after that last try assist from Adam.

    Roll on 2020
