THE IRELAND MEN’S Sevens team fell to a 22-14 defeat in their cup quarter-final meeting with Argentina at the Hong Kong Sevens.
Hugo Lennox and Josh Kenny both crossed for Ireland, but it wasn’t enough against an Argentina side who scored the first three tries of the game and led 15-0 before Ireland got on the scoreboard in the second half.
Earlier on Saturday, Ireland wrapped up their pool games with a 19-10 defeat of the USA – Jordan Conroy, Dylan O’Grady and Nicholas Greene putting Ireland into a comfortable lead before the USA added two second-half tries.
