Sin-binning costs Ireland Sevens dearly

A crucial yellow card for Leinster flanker Niall Ronan saw Ireland's young Sevens side collapse to a 24-19 Bowl semi-final defeat to Canada at today's IRB South Africa Sevens in George.

Ronan was sin-binned in the second half as the Irish led 19-7 and defensive errors saw Canada's Marco Di Girolamo, Ryan Smith and Justin Mensah-Coker get in for late tries.
