'Actually it’s funny, when I wake up, I never really remember a dream. It’s just like, blackout. I’ve dreamed about six to 10 times this year and each time I’ve had a dream of winning these games.' - Harry McNulty on 7s Olympics qualification.
IRELAND’S try-scoring hero Terry Kennedy has praised the “incredible” achievement of his teams’s qualification for the Olympics, while captain Harry McNulty has said he has dreamed about this moment.
Ireland defeated Great Britain 26-12, with Jordan Conroy Billy Dardis and Terry Kennedy bagging the tries.The Ireland Women’s Sevens team qualified in May.“Oh my god it’s incredible,” Kennedy said. “It’s something we’ve spoken about for so long and worked towards it. The last one we got in just before and as soon as that kind of finished we spoke about making sure that we got there a little bit earlier for Paris so we had a bit more lead time.
“You’ve got just so many strong teams across the board and there’s upsets going left to right both in the men and women’s competition. So it’s never going to be easy.”“Actually it’s funny, when I wake up, I never really remember a dream. It’s just like, blackout. I’ve dreamed about six to 10 times this year and each time I’ve had a dream of winning these games, I’m dead serious when I say that.
“You want to be able to build and build and build because it’s gonna get tougher. You have to make sure that you’re hitting it perfectly when you come to the last game and I think we had two really tough games, the quarter, the semi, but whatever way that we just played and got really close and fought from each other, it just made those results feel really good and you got a lot of confidence from them.
