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.

90 @ Just For Kicks:
Damn yes, the game against Fiji was super kak.
We beat Aussie yesterday
Try, Dry, on the fly and under the posts
Try to Dry.
He’s been good for the Bokke
91@ grootblousmile:Missed the match, just going by Supers comments
Oops Dazel cops a yellow
SA down to 6
94 @ Just For Kicks:
It was very kak, the Fijians outmuscled us… totally…. at the breakdowns… everywhere!
Our boys are a bit small man!
Back to 7 players a side
….and back to 7, and no damage done
Tryyyyy Delport
Blitzbokke 12 / 0
Lemoenetyd
@ grootblousmile:Yeah, there seems to be a bit more urgency in the rucking that seems to have crept into the game. We don’t seem to have it, but the top teams are really rucking over the ball, and committing more players to the ruck and driving over. NZ looked very adept at it yesterday.
102 @ Just For Kicks:
New Zealand and Fiji have HUGE, fast blokes!
As I say that, we ruck over the ball and win it magnificently, only to knock the ball on…….again
Injuries galore in this game
Fark, silly errors by the Blitzbokke
I would like to see a stat on how many balls we have lost forward in this tournament
Tryyyyyyy Boom Prinsloo
Rucks win matches! – my new saying!
Bokke 17 / 0
Aus get a consolation
Try to the Aussies, a bit after the hooter already
Blitzbokke win 17 / 5
17-5
2 easy games and 1 toughy in the Pool B group for the next weekends matches
After WI smashed 590 in their 1st innings, it looks like they could lose the match to India, who only need 55 to win with 5 wickets in hand
Good defence by Fiji, and a great try from their own try line
Fiji scores
Fiji 7 / 0
Conversion good, 7-0 to Fiji
NZ strike back in the corner
