THE IRELAND RUGBY Sevens finished their Olympic campaign with a loss, going down 22-0 to Kenya in their play-off for 9th/10th place.
It was a disappointing end for Anthony Eddy’s side and some sort of revenge for Kenya who were beaten by the Irish outfit in the pool stage yesterday.
Willy Ambaka, Jacob Ojee, Johnstone Olindi, Daniel Taabu all got on the scoresheet for what was the last game for Kenya captain Andrew Amonde. Once again, it was an inaccurate Irish performance. They struggled to get any forward momentum and their attack faltered.
