Nothing to do with diving, but after a really exciting final, Fiji beat South Africa 26-24 in the Hong Kong Sevens. The South Africans had a chance to force the match into extra time after a late try in the corner. But their captain, Mzwandile Stick, was unable to kick the conversion.
Fiji actually started quite slowly and our friendly Fijian diver, Vinnie, was fairly pessimistic about their chances. But they improved throughout the tournament and ended up playing some great rugby.
Another great tournament and now we’ll all have to wait for next year. On a personal note, my son came over from England to watch his first Sevens since we had him in the South Stand when he was 8 months old. I think he’ll remember a lot more about this year.
