HSBC Sevens World SeriesThe last leg of the 2014 / 2015 HSBC Sevens World Series took place in London England this Saturday and Sunday 16 and 17 May 2015 from 09:00 BST (10:00 SA Time) both days.

All the action was broadcast LIVE on SuperSport 6 on Saturday and on SuperSport 1 (Sunday) on TV in South Africa.

After 8 Rounds of the HSBC Sevens World Series, Fiji, South Africa and New Zealand battled it out for the 16th World Series title in London.

Following their victory at the Glasgow Sevens last weekend, Fiji headed into the 9th and Final Round of the Series in 1st spot – with Ben Ryan’s side aiming to win their 1st Series title since 2006.

Not since 2010 has a side other than New Zealand won it, but with Fiji on 147 points and South Africa on 142 prior to this tournament, the 4-time defending champions had their work cut out to win a 13th World Series title as they sat 3rd on 139 Log Points, prior to this tournament.

New Zealand fell out of the race for the ultimate World Series title when England beat them in the quarter-final and the same fate befell South Africa’s Blitzbokke as they persihed against Fiji by 7 / 19 in the quarter-finals in London, the same fate which befell them in Glasgow.

Having led the Series since Round 2 the BlitzBokke failed to make the Cup semi-finals for the 1st time all season in Glasgow and now again in London.

Fiji, who overtook South Africa for the 1st time since before Dubai at Glasgow, was joined by Samoa, Canada and Argentina in Pool A and fielded an unchanged squad from that win.

All 3 Top sides have cemented their place for Sevens’ debut in the Olympic Games next year. By qualifying for the semi-finals in London, England has also cemented their spot for the Olympics, effectively shutting out Australia who was next in line.

As a result of Fiji beating South Africa in the quarter-final they are the new HSBC Sevens World Series champions for the 2014 / 2015 season, no matter what happens in the remaining games.

All that remains now is to see who goes on to win the London Sevens title.

Fiji claimed 3rd spot, by beating England by 26 / 12.

The Final was contested by unlikely candidates United States and Australia, with the United States Claiming the Final Cup honours, by 45 / 22.
