Offaly's Jordan Conroy swapped his dancing shoes for his boots and was in flying form for Ireland as the team made the semi-finals of the Singapore Sevens.

Ireland pulled off a historic win over Olympic Champions Fiji on their way to the last four where only a last minute try for New Zealand denied them a place in the final.

Ireland came out second from their group on Saturday ahead of France and Japan and then defeated the USA 14-12 in their quarter-final this morning by 14-12.  They led New Zealand with seconds to go in the semi-final but a last gasp try from Akuila Rokolisoa broke Ireland's hearts after Conroy had given Ireland the lead. 

They then progressed to the Bronze Medal match where they faced Australia losing narrowly by 21 to 19 with only a conversion separating the sides.
