Billy Dardis says it was an "an extremely proud moment" when he found out he would captain the Ireland Sevens squad at the upcoming Olympic Games.

Dardis and his side took the last spot in the competition beating France in the decisive repechage clash in Paris as the 26-year-old Dubliner will now lead the 13-strong squad in Japan.
