Day one and two of the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series had mixed results for Ireland.

The Irish squad, which includes Tipperary’s Amee-Leigh Murphy Crowe, is in Toulouse in the hopes of securing a place in the Olympics for the first time.

They defeated France 27-7 in their opening match.

The Tipp Town native scored three tries in that game against the host nation.

Later in the evening, they went on to suffer a 33-12 loss against Australia in the evening.

This morning saw the Irish squad take a dominant 36-7 win over Brazil with the help of two tries from Murphy Crowe.

They next faced off against Australia again, where they were beaten 17-7.

Tomorrow morning, the Ireland 7s will be up against Fiji in the 5th place semi final, with kick-off set for 8am.

A higher finish over Fiji and the UK will send Ireland through to Paris in 2024.
