The Third Tournament of the HSBC Sevens World Series 2011 / 2012, known as the Nelson Mandela BaySouth Africa Rugby Sevens tournament played on 9 and 10 December 2011.
This week the tournament was in OUR back yard, the first games started at 11:37 on 9 December 2011, SA Time. We only had a lively general Discussion Article and not a Live Article with Score Updates as the games proceed.
This was exactly that, the Discussion Article, here you will find all the scores.
Last week, the Dubai leg of the HSBC Sevens World Series went totally cookoo, with all the big guns falling out and underperforming and having ordinary tournaments by their standards.
This time New Zealand just pip South Africa to the post, winning the tournament in a thrilling Final, by 31 / 26.
The next HSBC Sevens World Series tournament will be held in Wellington, New Zealand on 3 and 4 February 2012.
