Having overcome cancer, playing Rugby World Cup Sevens is no real pressure for star playmaker Ronald Brown, and he plans to make this tournament a special ...

Powell has had the reins since 2013 and Brown is determined to give the coach who gave him his first Blitzboks cap the perfect send-off.DM I love playing for my country, and to do it in front of my family and supporters is so, so special.” I will be proud and pumped to play in front of my family and our supporters, which is one of my ‘whys’ in the game. Brown was an emotional spectator in the crowd on that occasion. The contribution he brings to the squad is amazing. Having him around to guide us and show us things is incredible for the team. “I have not played at a World Cup and was desperate to make this one. But the fleet-footed player’s career was brought to a halt as it was about to take off. Born in Montagu, about 180km from Cape Town, Brown represented the Boland academy before moving to the University of Johannesburg to study education. Their journey included a thrilling 24-12 victory over World Series champions Australia in the semifinal. To play at the World Cup is awesome and it’s another goal ticked,” Brown told Daily Maverick. I went to the Olympics [last year], I played in the World Series and got the gold medal.

Wait for maiden men's sevens win over New Zealand goes on after late McGarvey-Black try.

Andrew Smith was quickest to the bounce to gather and race away for the equalising score. After a moment where it looked like he got away with it, Leo was ultimately sent to the bin, his two minutes off the park proving crucial. Terry Kennedy was on his outside just short of the 22 with a try all but certain, only for Moses Leo to bat the ball away illegally.

It wasn't to be for Ireland as they fell just short in the semi-finals of the World Rugby Sevens.

And with the final play Ireland had the ball and were looking for some magic but it wasn't to be for Ireland as tired bodies. New Zealand had Ireland on the ropes deep into the second half and appeared to have a try only for it to be disallowed with a knock on and with two and a half minutes to go New Zealand had the ball five metres out. And straight from kick off Ireland managed to run with a try with Andrew Smith taking full advantage of a loose ball to tie the game.

Ireland now face the losers of Australia and Fiji in the bronze final at 6.25pm [live on RTÉ Player].

Ireland Sevens stars reached the semi finals of the Rugby World Cup Sevens, but they were defeated by two-time champions New Zealand in a pulsating match.

To reach the semi-finals, Ireland beat Portugal and England on the first day of the tournament, so knew they had a last eight match locked up. There was still time for a late Ireland Sevens rally, but the Kiwi's counter-rucking closed the match out. Restored to seven players, after Leo's sin-binning, the Kiwis were on the charge but some heroic defending from Ireland repelled them.

Ireland had already surpassed all expectations to get this far but their hopes of an unlikely final appearance were ended by a 17-10 defeat.

Ireland were saved when they knocked on the ball as it went over, resulting in a Kiwi scrum. Harry McNulty caused havoc from the restart and slipped in behind to score and level the game at 10-10. With a one-man advantage, the Irish ran home a vital try through Jack Kelly to finish the first half.
