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.

There is another one. Prince Neluondi has won gold for lawn bowls. Amazing story actually..he only took the game up 4 years ago and has broken stereotype and mental barriers by becoming the first black SA bowler to win a gold medal at the Commonwealth.
btw.. he works as barman at the Bryanstan Sports club.. recently promoted from lawnkeeper… and he does not drink.
My belated congratulations to the Blitzboks.
Best Team on the day won.
I’m not happy about it,
but that don’t change the facts.
We’ll see your lot in Rio.
