A number of midlands athletes will hope to play a role in the game.

Ireland need to beat the 2024 Sevens Grand Final winners Australia this afternoon to keep their medal hopes alive.

It comes after an up and down opening day that saw an opening loss to Britain, and victory over South Africa.

Ballinasloe's Béibhinn Parsons played a crucial role in that win with two tries.

Tullamore's Megan Burns has started both matches so far, while Portarlington's Alanna Fitzpatrick made her Olymipc debut as a second half substitute against the Bllitzboks.

Kick off at the Stade de France is set for 1.30pm this afternoon.
