Ireland Men kick off their quest for Olympic glory on Wednesday 24 July, with Ireland Women in action from Sunday 28 July.
Who are Ireland playing? THE MEN’S TEAM are in Pool A and open their campaign against South Africa at 4.30pm on Wednesday 24 July, before playing Japan at 8pm later that day. Their final pool game is against New Zealand at 3.30pm on Thursday 25 July.
How have Ireland been playing this season? The men’s squad enjoyed a superb season, finishing second overall in the HSBC SVNS Series to mark their best-ever campaign. They travel to the Games with realistic hopes of a medal, and James Topping’s men have plenty of momentum heading to Paris having won the last Rugby Europe Sevens Championship tournament of the summer – beating France in the final at the Hamburg Sevens.
