It’s the final everyone expected. Gold medal and Olympic ticket at stake

Britain looked good in their win over Spain without ever looking spectacular. Likewise, Ireland did what they needed to do to put Portugal away without needing to bring their A game.

 

The final could be close - 5-10 point difference - but if Ireland bring their A game, there is only going to be one winner.

Whover loses will still have a huge chance of winning the final qualifying tournament. No top class teams will be there.

could all be banana peels for GB, maybe some better teams too if the other continentals don't play out as expected.

Yes me made it!!!  

 

This makes me so happy because I have tickets for men's rugby at next year's Olympics on 25th July and 27th July so it's amazing I will get to cheer on Ireland!

GBR favourites I think in the men's final tournament. ALL the good teams likely to qualify directly. Tonga likely the biggest banana skin

[dodge 1,024]

Agreed. I’d have GBR as strong favourites. 
 

There’s just very little wriggle room for them now. They could conceivably lose to Canada/USA and Samoa (if they don’t  win the Oceania qualifier)

 

Sevens can throw up some very odd results
