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.
Ireland had already made light work of Slovenia, Bulgaria and Austria to top Pool B and set up a quarter-final meeting with Malta today. That match ended in a 76-0 victory, before a semi-final match-up against Slovenia finished 59-0.
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.
