Ireland men's rugby Sevens Olympic qualifier delayed as 'strong winds' cause goalpost malfunction

Ireland's men's rugby sevens Olympic qualifying clash with Portugal has been delayed due to 'strong winds'.

The sides were due to face off at 12.58pm Irish time, but that has been pushed back and the game is now due to kick-off at 2.02pm this afternoon.

It is understood that the strong winds have caused the huge tarp that was covering the stage to become snagged on the top of the goal-posts.
