Fiji will be the only team from the Pacific in the Tokyo Olympics Rugby Sevens competition.

This is after the Ireland men's 7s team has made history by qualifying for the Tokyo Olympic Games after winning the World Rugby Sevens Repechage in Monaco.

They booked their ticket to Tokyo by beating France 28-19 in the Monaco 7s final.

France, Hong Kong, Ireland and Samoa were all in contention in the men’s repechage going into the final day, but it was the Irish who produced the shock result to take home the tournament and win a place in the Olympics.

The Olympic Men’s Rugby Sevens competition will start on 26th July.

France and Russia’s women also booked their tickets to Tokyo with victories in the qualifier finals.
