The Mike Friday Select 7s drew first blood through Terry Kennedy who darted through the middle within to take an early 7-0 lead.

The USA quickly replied with three quick tries to lead 17-7 at halftime.

The Mike Friday side had the last say through Ireland speedster Jordan Conroy who ran through untouched to score under the sticks bringing the score to 31-14.
