IRELAND SUFFERED A disappointing 36-0 quarter finals loss to Australia in the Men’s HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series in Los Angeles.
Anthony Eddy’s men had reached the stage on the back of a thrilling 19-19 draw with South Africa.
However, later in the day, they recovered from the disappointment of losing to the Aussies by earning an impressive 26-7 victory over England in the fifth-place play-off semi-final.
Jordan Conroy scored two of the tries, while Terry Kennedy and Adam Leavy also got their names on the scoresheet.
