The final round of this season’s HSBC Sevens World Series took place in London. The London leg of the series took place during Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 of May.
Before this tournament New Zealand topped the World Series table and were hot favourites to add yet another trophy to their sevens cabinet, which they comfortably did by winning this leg of the HSBS Sevens World Series in Londom too.
Prior to the tournament they were already 19 points ahead of their nearest rivals, South Africa, on the overall standings table.
New Zealand, South Africa and Fiji notched up big wins in their first games on Day 1 against Argentina, Portugal and Spain respectively. South Africa then remained unbeaten through Day 1 while Fiji lost one game, to Australia and New Zealand also lost one game, being narrowly defeated in the final game of Day 1 by England. All three these teams competed in the quarter finals of the Cup section on Day 2 where they were joined by England, Australia, Samoa, Kenya and France.
The BlitzBokke’s ‘reward’ for topping their pool is a Cup quarter final against New Zealand, but New Zealand comfortably dispatched the Blitzbokke by 32 / 5 in their quarter final.
The Results were periodically updated here on Rugby-Talk.

Bad week for SA Teams.
Very bad week.
Very, very bad week.

Lions robbed & fukked over.
Blitzbokke rogered in QF.
Stormers bullied.
Cheats enforced.
Shawks tour into hell continues.

Never mind,…………………………………………….. it’s only a game.

Another tough game.
@ Bullscot:
Good work here Mr Scott.
43 @ cane:
Hi cane, not for all teams The Bulls won, ok we will be disappointed that Blue Bulls didn’t but its not a bad week if you’re a Griquas or Golden Lions fan
45 @ cane:
Thanks cane, a lot of help from GBS especially today as am not in best of position to update the scores in the tables. Pity SA came up short but hey congrats to your team, how on earth did they lose to England yesterday?
Last Cup QF result: Samoa 10/26 Fiji
First shield semi final result – Portugal 7/45 USA
Second shield semi final result – Scotland 19/26 Japan, so its USA v Japan in the shield final

the Leeus cant win without Stuart Berry, and perhaps there is such a thing as karma 😉

and SA want a sixth team? seriously? they have played more games (57) than the other TWO conferences (Aus with 52, NZ with 53) and have tallied 113 competition points (Aus have 128 and NZ a whopping 151 points).
.
NZ conference is toughest AND best conference
.
SA should pay MORE money into the pot considering the inferior product they are bringing currently
@ nga puhi:
It is the Aussies fault, they are unfair.
