Ireland's final pool game finishes in controversial draw at Dubai Sevens

Ireland may feel hard done by following their final pool match against Fiji which ended 17-all in controversial circumstances at the Dubai Sevens. 

With a woman in the sin-bin, Fiji were defending their 17-12 lead late on. They couldn’t hold Ireland out as they crossed for a try through Aoife Doyle, who drew the scores level.

Captain Lucy Mulhall thought she had rescued the game from defeat but was adjudged to have taken the conversion from the wrong spot. The Wicklow woman then missed the subsequent re-take, rounding off a winless day for Anthony Eddy’s charges.
