RTE's Late Late Show praised by viewers after early show decision

RTE was praised after Ireland's Rugby Sevens appeared on the show.

The side shocked the odds to finish third at the Rugby Sevens World Cup and were first up on the show.

And they received a brilliant reception from the audience and Dancing with the Stars and Rugby Sevens ace Jordan Conroy, captain Billy Dardis and other members of the team appeared on Ryan Tubridy's couch to speak about their success.

And the decision to promote the Rugby Sevens went down well on social media.

One social media user said: "Great to see the Irish Rugby Sevens Team getting some acknowledgement"

While another said: "Congrats on the rugby 7s"

And another said: "Great interview from the lads"

The six lads presented Ryan with a jersey and they were all smiles as they posed with it at the ad break.
