Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium’s three year deal to host the South African leg of the HSBC Sevens World Series came to a fitting end when South Africa beat New Zealand in the Cup Final. For two years New Zealand have enjoyed the favour of their Port Elizabeth based support as they beat South Africa in 2011 and France in 2012. [...]

The Boks scored four tries, picking up a valuable bonus point away from home, with the Wallabies unable to cross the Springbok try-line for the first time in 12 years. [...]

The game saw both teams scored three tries, and ultimately it was the accurate boot of Dan Carter that proved the difference between the sides in a tense clash. The Crusaders needed a bonus point win to retain a chance of overhauling the champions, who play the Blues tonight in the final Super 15 round. But the Crusaders were lucky enough to even win the match, let alone launch a bid for four tries, only nailing the victory with a 79th minute try. [...]
