While the Blitzboks stumbled and fumbled, Fiji went unbeaten all weekend in Toulouse as they secured their second victory of the series after winning in Singapore last month. The final was tightly contested as Fiji went into halftime with a slender 14-12 lead. “It is almost as if the players had forgotten what their roles and responsibilities are, and that put the system under pressure.

Ireland's rugby sevens men earn silver medal at World Series after ... (Irish Mirror)

It was an historic achievement for the men's team while there was disappointment for the women's side in France.

They comprehensively defeated hosts France 24-7 early in the afternoon - even leading to some bad tempered behaviour from the losers towards the end. While they eventually came up short to world-leaders in the condensed game in Fiji by a scoreline of 29-17, James Topping's squad can reflect on more new ground broken for the Irish setup having previously qualified for our debut Olympics last year.
