The New Season kicked off for the HSBC Sevens World Series, with the first of the tournaments held at the Gold Coast, Australia on 25 and 26 November 2011.
Seeing as the times are at ‘unusual hours’ in South African terms, starting at the ungodly hour of 04:30 SA Time, was only have a lively general Discussion Article and not a Live Article with Score Updates as the games proceed.
This is exactly that, the Discussion Article, here you will find all the scores.
Fiji wins the Tournament, New Zealand are runners up, South Africa ends in 3rd place and Australia ends in 3th place.

Final Cup |
@ Bullscot:
SA are rattled they look like deers in the headlights, very poor play
consolation try for SA
FIJI 24-7 SA
@ superBul:
Ag no thats a pity but I guess Fiji are really good at 7s
Game over as SA knocks the ball on with a gaping try line begging.
FIJI 24-7 SA
@ Bullscot:
Fiji has SA number, they are one of our most difficult opponents.
But we played poorly and deserved to lose.
I wont watch further , will chat again later, cheers.
I have other things to do, sorry.
@ superBul:
Ok cheers superBul lekker dag. Go Scotland
Hello folks
I have to go to a wine tasting function in Pretoria just after 13:00 and then to a friend’s 60th birthday bash…. so I’m missing the freegin Barbarians / Wallabies match.
Have scheduled a Live Game Article…. any takers to handle it for us?
Argentina 12 / 7 with about 6 minutes left
OK, SuperBul will handle the BaaBaas game as captain for us.
Argentina 17 / 7 with less than half a minute left.
Arg 17 – Sco 14 Full time
Argentina wins 17 / 14
@ grootblousmile:Do they have wine in Pretoria?
Only 3 Games left.
Samoa vs Wales – Plate Final
Australia vs South Africa – 3rd place play-off
New Zealand vs Fiji – Cup Final
74 @ Just For Kicks:
We’ll be tasting fine from papsakke, using paper cups!
Hehehe
No, it’s a good wine thingy, organised by Handbriekie in association wit some very good Estates…. not sure who exactly
Wales come out with the try line on their minds, 2 near scores only to run with ball in hand backwards to 10m line, and give away a penalty
Nothing like a good wine in a paper cup – reminds me of the army!
Wales finally get over, after some hard work
Samoa straight back in the game, over in the corner
Great try Wales
Wales 14-5, HT
Go Wales… after the World Cup I’m not exactly a Samoa fan
Wales score from interception as second half starts
Wales playing a very good game so far
Samoa over
Wow, football makes an awesome entrance into the 7’s Try from some very lucky bounces to Wales 26-10
Wales 26 / 10 with 40 seconds left
Wales win 26-15, after a last minute try by Samoa from a penalty
Wales in by 26 / 15
Right, lets hope we play better than the last match against Fiji
