Ireland Men 7s topped the table at the end of the three day Red Bull International Rugby 7s tournament organised by the RFU and hosted at the national football centre, St. George’s Park, Burton upon Trent, between 15-17 May.
The tournament featured three teams, Team GB, USA and Ireland with Team GB and USA looking to get some game time in ahead of the Olympic 7s in Tokyo on 26-28 July 2021. Ireland are still looking to qualify for the Olympics and they were preparing for the Olympic repechage that takes place in Monaco on 19-20 June 2021. The teams played each other three times over the three days.
Despite the championship falling into Ireland’s hands on the final day the tournament really was just a chance to get some competitive rugby under the hood for the players and it served it’s purpose with a reasonable mix of competition and experimentation.
