Ireland Men continued to build important cohesion and momentum with two more high-octane hit-outs at St George's Park on Saturday, including an impressive victory over USA on the second day of the International Rugby 7s.
Anthony Eddy's side were in lethal form as they ran in five tries against USA for a 31-14 win in their third outing of the campaign, with a superb score from Jordan Conroy and a standout try from Aaron Sexton the highlights on Sunday morning.
Sean Cribbin and Terry Kennedy (2) also crossed during the defeat of Mike Friday's outfit, as Ireland step up their preparations for June's World Rugby Sevens Repechage in Monaco, where they will bid to make history and qualify for the Tokyo Olympic Games.
Speedsters Sexton and Conroy were on the scoresheet again in Ireland's second game on Sunday, but Great Britain edged a hugely competitive encounter 14-10, as the hosts maintained their 100% record over the opening two days at the FA's National Training Centre.
