The first match will be played at 4.30pm with the clash against Japan slated for 8pm Wednesday evening. Ireland will be hoping to advance to the latter rounds of the tournament to challenge for medals.
Conroy has Irish and Leinster Rugby Union star Hugo Keenan among his teammates while other high-profile players lining out in the event include France's Antoine Dupont.

The other Offaly competitors are Offaly boxer Grainne Walsh, women's rubgy 7s star Megan Burns and cyclist Megan Armitage.
