The Glasgow Sevens, the 2nd last leg of the HSBC Sevens World Series takes place this weekend in Glasgow, Scotland at Scotstoun.
The Tournament is held over 2 days, with Saturday 9 May the 1st Day and the tournament concluding on Sunday 10 May.
The 3 leading sides in the World Series are South Africa (129 Log Points), Fiji (125 Log Points) and New Zealand (120 Log Points). England follows some distance behind in 3rd spot on 100 Log Points, with Australia 9 points behind them on 91 Log Points and the rest of the field far up the rear.
The Top 4 Teams in the standings at the end of the 2015 HSBC Sevens World Series, which concludes next weekend in London, England, automatically qualify for spots at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, so for England and Australia there is all to play for in this tournament and next weekend.
For the Top 3 sides in the series, who have already made sure of Olympic qualification (bar the almost impossible preventing it in these 2 last tournaments) this weekend and the next is all about winning the HSBC World Series. South Africa are only 4 Points ahead of the Fijians, who have raised the bar and upped the ante substantially in the last few tournaments. New Zealand, who are last year’s champions are also within reach and will be desperate to beat Fiji and South Africa convincingly, in order to retain the crown.
The weekend’s action kicked off at 11:30 SA Time (10:30 BST, 09:30 GMT) and all the action was broadcast live on SuperSport 6, on TV in South Africa.
South Africa played Samoa at 12:58 SA Time (11:58 BST, 10:58 GMT), then they played Kenya at 16:04 SA Time (15:04 BST, 14:04 GMT) and their 3rd and last game of Day 1 was against New Zealand at 19:37 SA Time (18:37 BST, 17:37 GMT).
On Day 1 the traditionally big Sevens Nations of South Africa, New Zealand and Fiji all advanced to the quarters, joined by England, Canada, Scotland, Australia and the United States in the quarters.
Day 2’s action started at 12:30 SA Time (11:30 BST, 10:30 GMT) on Sunday and the action was broadcast on SuperSport 1 on TV in South Africa. The tournament concluded with the Cup Final which took place at 20:50 SA Time (19:50 BST, 18:50 GMT).
South Africa’s Blitzbokke lost their quarter-final game against Fiji by 0 / 15 and Fiji and New Zealand went on to contest the Cup Final.
Fiji managed to beat New Zealand in the Cup Final by 24 / 17, to take the Glasgow title.
Fiji has now moved to the Top of the 2015 HSBC Sevens World Series points table, 5 points above South Africa, who have moved down into 2nd spot. New Zealand have also crept closer to South Africa on the Log and only 8 points now seperate the Top 3 teams, going into the Final Round of the 2015 HSBC Sevens World Series next weekend in London, England.

Bruva man, dis die moeite werd.
Hy is weer in n vieslike vorm vandag, plesier om te kyk
200 run partnership between Kohli and AB.
Unbelievable stuff….Virat has played really well, but has hardly been noticed due to the way AB has gone
Ruhan Nel in for the 1st try For the Blitzbokke in the Plate Final vs Scotland
Blitzbokke 5 / 0 Scotland
Frankie Horn in for the 2nd try?
Video Referral
No try, foot out in goal, 22m drop in
Rainy weather should suit the Scotts, of course
Try Werner Kok, under the sticks.
Blitzbokke 12 / 0 Scotland
Lemoenetyd
Try James Johnston, Scotland
Blitzbokke 12 / 5 Scotland
Try Scotland… if he kicks the conversion it goes into extra time
Misses the conversion.
Blitzbokke at least wins the Plate
Final Score: South African Blitzbokke 12 / 10 Scotland
Go Fiji!!!@
52 @ Pietman:
Miskien moet New Zealand maar hier wen, want Fiji is nou reeds 2 punte voor SA as hulle teen New Zealand verloor, terwyl as hulle wen dan is hulle nog meer punte voor!
Ons het darem die ref in die finaal

Brilliant comeback by Fiji, well deserved win.
