BOTH IRELAND SEVENS teams have booked their semi-final spots at the France 7s.
James Topping’s men ran out 14-0 winners against Argentina in their quarter-final in Toulouse this evening. Tries from Bryan Mollen and Terry Kennedy scored the tries, and Hugo Lennox and Mark Roche added the extras as Ireland came out on top of a physical contest against the World Series leaders.
Earlier today, they overcame Spain 26-21 to secure second spot in Pool D and book their date with Argentina, as Samoa’s win over South Africa also helped them prevail.
Kennedy, Jordan Conroy, Zac Ward and Andrew Smith all touched down in Ireland’s morning match as the team reached their sixth Cup quarter-final of the 2022 campaign.
Aiden McNulty’s women’s side edged past Canada to reach the last four this evening, as a brilliant weekend all round continues.
Last-gasp heroics from Eve Higgins sent Ireland through, as they finished up 22-21 winners and made it four wins out of five against Canada this season. Erin King and Lucy Mulhall were also on the scoresheet.
They fell to a 12-5 loss to hosts France this morning, but second place in their pool also secured their progression to the business end. Megan Burns’ early try was eventually eclipsed by scores from Joanna Grisez and Jade Ulutule as France triumphed.
Beibhinn Parsons watched on, ruled out through injury.
The men face Les Bleus tomorrow [1.15pm], while the women go up against Australia [12.52pm].
