IRELAND WILL PLAY Argentina in the quarter-finals of the men’s Dubai 7s tomorrow.
They had a disappointing day today, beating Uganda, drawing with Spain, before suffering a 14-7 defeat to France. Still, they make the quarters, the Pumas await this morning. Victory there sends Ireland into a semi-final date against either Australia or the USA.
They got off to a decent start this morning when tries by Jack Kelly, Andrew Smith and Jordan Conroy had Ireland on the cusp on an opening win, but Spain’s Aratz Goicoechea struck late for a share of the spoils (21-all).
