The Commonwealth Games was underway and the first Rugby games of these games were on Saturday 26 July 2014.
All games were played at Ibrox Stadium in Glasgow.
South Africa won the Gold Medal, New Zealand the Silver, Australia the Bronze!
Before the Final of these Games, New Zealand had not lost a single Commonwealth Games Sevens game… well, that record no longer stands.
The new Commonwealth Games Gold Medal Champions are South Africa’s Blitzbokke… for 4 more years!
It was a tough and physical Final, and New Zealand still deserve their plaudits for being the premier Sevens side in World Rugby.

Le Clos tiring badly
SA coming 3rd in 200m relay midway
Aussies score their 3rd try.
Come on SA. Real chance of a medal here
Hello, settled back at home in good time to watch the end of the 7s.
Australia 17 / 0 Samoa
Roussouw takes the lead. One leg to go. Gooooo SA
214 @ Just For Kicks:
Hi JFK which sport are you watching there.
150m to go. SA 3rd
Looks like Aus sure to get the bronze.
Back into 2nd. 50m to go
2 Min to go… Aussie will get the Bronze
3rd. Well done SA. Wow, what a great race. Solver to Scotland. Edge of seat stuff.
I suppose these guys think quickly on their feet but did think Aus 2nd try was not on, surely if the Samoan player was lying injured (eventually stretchered off) then they shouldn’t have taken the quick tap and scored, where is the sportsmanship there…
Aus 22/0 Sam
Less than a minute to go… Bronze is safe.
Aussies score a last try.

4 X 200m freestyle relay. Awesome race. Neck and neck for 650m. Great race. SA bronze
Good conversion Aus 24/0 Samoa
Final Score in the Bronze Medal Game: Australia 24 / 0 Samoa
227 @ Just For Kicks:
Ah ok, not seen much of the swimming, good for SA to get the bronze then
Well done Aus in the 7’s
OK, Now for Goldddddddddd!
Goooooooooo Blitzbokke!

Indeed, the first three were all within the games’ record.
South Africa has “lost” quite a few swimmers lately through retirement but seems to have found fairly good replacements to assist the superstar Le Clos in the chase for medals.
Yip GO BLITZBOKKE! Scottish commentator discussing SA performance on the radio earlier kept referring to them as the Springboks.
@ Bullscot:
Swimming been very good. Young Erraid Davies, 13 years old from the Shetland Islands took bronze in the 100m breaststroke
Gold Medal Game ON!
Goooooooo Blitzbokke!

Yes, loads of new names I haven’t heard of, but the future looks fairly bright – just hope these guys are better treated by Sascoc
They keep chopping and changing the channels the rugby is on here, right found it now, phew lucky NZ knocked on
Not looking good for captain Kyle Brown
Nicely done… as Lam, the bigge, is made to lose the ball.
Kyle Brown down seriously injured… eish
