THE IRELAND MEN’S Sevens Rugby side brushed aside every opponent put in front of them to win Rugby Europe Division B without conceding a single point this evening.
Serbia were their opponents for the final and Anthony Eddy’s side recorded yet another whitewash — claiming a 74-0 win in Zagreb. The result earns them a place in the Rugby Europe Olympic Repechage tournament in Lisbon next month.
Victory there would see them progress to the World Olympic Repechage, where a spot for the Rio Olympics is up for grabs.
