Ireland's women sevens team clinched a place at the Paris Olympics thanks to a hard-fought victory over Fiji in the World Rugby Seven Series on Sunday.

Amee-Leigh Murphy Crowe scored at either end of a bruising fight half, as an eventual 10-5 win on Sunday morning in Toulouse guaranteed Ireland’s ticket to Paris 2024.
