Rugby World Cup Sevens: Ireland's Plate hopes ruined
Ireland's hopes of qualifying for the World Cup Sevens Plate competition were dashed when they were beaten 28-5 by Russia in their final match to finish fifth in Group A.
They will now compete in the Bowl event - for teams that finished fifth and sixth in their group - where their quarter-final opponents will be Chinese Taipei.
