THE start of a bright summer. Nielsen’s Gracenote Virtual Medal Table, a medal-winning predictor, has Ireland’s possible tally at nine currently. A first opportunity comes before the Games officially begins.

Ireland Men's Sevens kick off on Wednesday with their Pool A matches against South Africa and Japan, two days before the opening ceremony. All games will be played at the Stade de France. For stalwart Jordan Conroy, he wouldn’t have it any other way.
