News summary

Ireland's men's rugby sevens team secured a dramatic 17-14 victory over the USA at the Paris Olympics, thanks to a last-minute try from Terry Kennedy. The win sets up a fifth-place playoff against New Zealand, a rematch from their earlier pool game which Ireland lost 14-12. Despite trailing 14-7 with under a minute to go, late tries from Zac Ward and Kennedy turned the game around. Kennedy, who scored his third try of the tournament, emphasized the team's determination to finish strong after their quarter-final loss to Fiji. Head coach James Topping expressed eagerness to face New Zealand, viewing it as a chance to prove themselves. Ireland aims to improve on their 10th place finish from the Tokyo Olympics by clinching fifth place today.
