Australia win at the IRB Sevens World Series Japan in Tokyo 1 Apr 2012. What a final, Aussie pace beat Samoan power in a nailbiter and brilliant final. The Aussies won with a try out wide that leveled the scores in the dying moments at 26-26 and the conversion went over to seal the much deserevd win against our prediction. Third place went to New Zealand who having given England a big lead pegged them back in the second half to win 24-17.
All the rest of the results along with New Zealand went to our predictions with Scotland taking the Shield, 26-12, France the Bowl, 17-12 and Fiji the plate, 14-10.
With the chnage of finalists has this helped the Kiwis to another crown, or can anyone catch them. Maybe Fiji or South Africa. Two legs to go Scotland at the beggining of May and England Mid May. This gives all the teams the chance to recover and get back their injured players. What a climax to come. We will bring you the fixture and pool information along with our predictions nearer the time.
