The overall standings in the HSBC Sevens World Series Tournament just got a little tighter; after the upsets this weekend of the 2 top seeded teams by Fiji and South Africa and then again when RSA beat Fiji in the final.

The Springboks have now awoken their country and the South Africans will now be loud and proud.  It was a great final and I hope RSA plays as well at the upcoming stops in Hong Kong, Australia, England and lastly Scotland.
