Thats all from us at UR7s at a deserted PETCO Park -The Argentines are really enjoying themsleves soaking up their win - what a World Cup we are in store for.

Full list of today's results and some a summary to come. Over and out!

02:03

Final score - Argentina 19 England 14

Kool & The Gang - Celebration reverberates around PETCO and the Puma’s are in a huddle chanting, singing – great to see what it means to these guys who have been pushing hard all season. The IRB Sevens World Series is about as open as it’s ever been…

England and South Africa are now joint-top with 60 points, eight clear of New Zealand on 52, while Argentina lie fourth with 48 ahead of Fiji, Kenya and the USA, who take 12 points from their home event.

Match 44 – Cup Final – Argentina v England

So who is it going to be? The winners form last week in Wellington or the 2004 USA Sevens winners Argentina?

England keeping hold of the pill nicely here, and get a penalty courtesy of the Pumas not rolling away – They capitalise with relish and it’s Leed’s Tom Biggs who jags back in with a quick feet to scoot over. 7-0.

Pumas take one from the head in a scrum and Rodriguez snakes his way through before dummying Barrett and feeding that gracious try machine Gomez-Cora. 7-5.

Anything Cora can go Gollings thinks he can do better with his textbook chip over a sleeping Argentine defence, winning the race for his 165th IRB try. He converts – he generally does - it’s 14-5. England’s resurgence in the past few weeks has been built on some super stingy defence and they keep the hungry South Americans at bay before the half is up.

Just as I big up England stingy ‘D’ Rodwell goes and lets as soft one in letting Amorosino step in on his inside and this could be anyone’s. 14-12 – England.

England getting caught in their own 22 and they are being run ragged here with big numbers right the pull is shifted to Rodriguez who strolls over for his easy touch down:19-14 to the Pumas. This is strength sapping stuff with both teams clearly feeling the strain of a hard three weeks on the road. England choosing to kick too much for my liking – gifting possession to the dangerous Gomes Cora who is eventually smothered into touch.

The clock is ticking and time is running out for Ben Ryan in his quest for back to back titles. Puma knock on and the hooter goes but Garrett Williams decides there is time for a scrum. England are out on their feet and Biggs jinks past two defenders but is hauled done, some gritty close quarter stuff now and the Puma’s have nicked it and kicked it and THEY’VE DONE IT. Argentina’s first win since 2004 and they have gone ballistic! England drop to the floor in sheer exhaustion…what a finale, a classic.

01:22

Almost at the climax guys - USA Sevens final is upon us - England v Argentina

Match 43 – Plate Final – New Zealand v Kenya

The lights are on and its bubbling nicely here before the England/Argentina Cup Final.

Formalities of the Plate first though…

Been a while since New Zealand were in the Plate aI imagine - such is their dominance in the IRB Sevens Series in it’s 10 year history. But they will using it as valuable game-time ahead of Dubai and some payback for yesterdays defeat to the Kenyans. Kenyan fans will party whatevet the outcome they have literally over-run San Diego’s Gaslamp this week.

Viliame Waqasduadua bags an early brace here both similar tries with Rakibula going blind and feeding his wing. 12-0 at the half folks.

Collins Injera has proved himself one of the quickest around this season leading the try scoring charts and he gets the Africans back in the mix with a powerful handoff before those lanky legs do the rest. 12-7.

Lovely Mr Waqasduadua. He shimmies past two would be tacklers before doing his best Strictly Come Dancing step round an embarrassed Were Kahuthia to make it 17-7 to New Zealand. Youngster Ben Souness (who replaced Kiwi’s indispensable leader DJ Forbes for this leg) gets his name on the score sheet and it’s a Plate consolation for Tietjens – not that it will cheer him up much…

Match 42 – Bowl Final – France v Australia

The 18 year old Morahan could be the future for Oz Rugby, he is quick and elusive and knows the whitewash like the back of his hand: he opens the scoring after a floated Richard Kingi pass puts him in.

Brave ‘D’ here from France but Damon Murphy buries over and then its simply a numbers thing as the green and gold overwhelm a puffing French line with Morahan doubling his tally and all of a sudden it’s 19-0 – game, set, Bowl?

Murhpy stops, shimmys, and stops again and scores again. Ohh lalala –A gallic embarrassment lineout with the ball floating over the back to a delighted William Brock who bags himself a try and some mickey-taking congratulations from his collegues. 33-0. Aiden Toua rubs further salt into some Gallic wounds and that’s the Bowl to Aussies. When they play like that it’s a small wonder why they don’t challenge more often with the big boys. Michael O’Conner will hope second half of the season brings some better consistency and a decent World Cup run.

00:31

Standin' on your Mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Back in the summer of 69!!!

Match 41 – Shield Final – Uruguay v Canada

Rights it’s finals time and first up is the Shield Final – Los Teros of Uruguay v Canada in a North American/South American showdown.

Lazy Canada – it’s not touch rugby boys. Gibernau is over and its’ 7-0 to the South Americans.
One of the tries of the day that one from the Canadians with the double Mack Attack (Phil MacKenzie and Philip Mack) combining excellently and an overhead basketball pass finds an ably supporting Dave Moonlight.

Oranges - time and it’s 12-7 to the North Americans -

Bit lateral that form MacKenzie and but its worked a bloomin treat as he scythes through for a guaranteed 7 pointer. Nice from Kozina very much the Canadians chief playmaker he fixes his man releasing Davey Moonlight to score his 107th try for his country (behind him in the all-time Canda try list is his coach Shane Thompson. A minute later he is over for his 108th after a tidy shimmy from Ciaran Hearn - 31-7 All over and it’s Canada’s Shield at this years 2009 USA Sevens. Cue Bryan Adams and a little summer of 69.

Match 40 – Argentina v USA

Right who wants to meet in England in the Cup Final? Pumas/Eagles the stage is yours.

The normally reliable Wyles doesn’t control an Amorosino poke up with Figuerola the recipient. Swiryn makes up for some shoddy USA tackling with a great track back hit but it’s not enough for the ball to find Mr. Santiago‘I’ve scored more tries then anyone else’ Comez Cora – the crowd are stunned 12-0 at the break. US need to get their hands on the ball…

‘Guppy’ Gillenwater’s fan club haven’t given up the ghost as Bon Jovi reverberates around PETCO. Eagles aren’t livin on prayer though… they are getting back in this courtesy of a lovely Swiryn break is finished off expertly by skipper Wyles…the comebacks on. 5m scrum for USA and Malifa – arguably USA’s standout performer this weekend – bundles over the line. Converison is GOOD. 14-12 -US!

Pumas straight back though working the phases sniffing an opportunity and it’s Gomez Cora little chip which is good enough for him to dot over for his 212th IRB try. 19-14 to the Pumas. Restart goes straight out but the hooter has gone and the US protests are dismissed – game over. Deflating that for the crowd but the US have proved themselves a genuine force this weekend and must be gutted to miss out on their first ever IRB Sevens Cup Final.

The Pumas can smell their first series win since taking out the USA Sevens 2004…

Match 38 – England v South Africa.

Cup Semi-Final time - aka ‘the big one’. This a re-run of the Dubai Final which South Africa took in the dying moments. Ben Ryan’s defence has been outstandingly stingy all weekend, but the Boks are timing their run nicely with ball players and speed in abundance in their squad…Both sides would fancy a final against the States or Pumas…

Scrappy pass on the floor often leads to dog legs and that’s what happened there with England all over the shop and Gio Aplon lights up 70m of PETCO turf to go under the sticks. Bad kick form Barratt straight down Dazel’s throat. Mbiyozo arcs round a despairing attempted tackle from Cracknall and the Bok goes in under the sticks. 12-0. Dodgy times England.

If in doubt give it your best player – Ben Gollings takes heed of theUR7s advice after good line-out work from Rodwell, England’s most experienced man does what he does best jinking through and gassing past a despairing Dazel. England gaining parity now and some neat work from the diminutive Barratt puts Phillips into space who finishes with aplomb. Great nudge from Gollings 12-12 at the half. Tasty.

Biggs might not be an out and out flyer of the Collin Injera variety but he’s no slouch and he uses his footballing midas touch to control an original nudge from the protagnist Gollings. 17-12 – England. The Rodwell line-out is working a dream and Phillips who is so deceptively quick bamboozles a helpless Aplon. 22-12. Zangqa offers a glimmer with a late SA score but it’s all too late and it’s England who are through – one match away from back-to back legs wins -22-19.

23:05

England and South Africa are warming up on the far side - their Cup Semi Final is looming...

They have been without Damudamu for most of today and apparantly he is a body wreck with busted ribs. Think they will miss him massively today.

Match 37 - Samoa v Kenya

Samoa and Kenya face each other in the next Plate Semi, the winner to face New Zealand. Gibson Weru Kahuthia bags an early try for Kenya under the posts, Samoa pull one back out wide but fail to add the extras. Lolo Lui gets the ball at 10 and weaves his way through the Kenyan defence brilliantly to pull Samoa ahead just before half time.

Some scintillating sevens from Kenya brings them level at 12 all, Collins Injera the architect and finisher. The scores remain level for the duration and they go into extra time. Sidney Ashioya shows searing pace to get on the end of a nudge through to score the golden try for Kenya in the corner. 17-12 the final score and Kenya are through to the Plate Final -where the man in black wait.

Match 37 Fiji v New Zealand

A plate semi final match-up but nontheless these two rugby proud nations will be giving every ounce of energy in this one with the world cup on the horizon.

Zar Lawrence gets an early try for New Zealand, but trademark patience in attack from the Fijians brings gets 2 tries putting them ahead of the Kiwis going into the second half. Fiji are playing some lovely rugby and are looking in confident mood.

Some nice approach play gets New Zealand into the danger zone and a Waqasduadua hitch-kick sees him outflank his opposite number to claw back a try. He adds another shortly after, wriggling out a tackle down the touchline and touching down close enough to the posts for their conversion to give them a 5 point lead with a minute and a half to play.

Chad Truro shows great strength scoring another try for New Zealand just before the hooter, cementing the New Zealand victory 24 points to 12.

Match 36 Scotland v France

Meeting the Aussies in that Bowl Final will the winner of these two. Six Nations result yesterday didn’t go the Scots way (losing 26-13) but think this will be a close one – fancy a Roddy Grant inspired Scotland to do this.

Butchered attempt from Bouty as he knocks on over the line – good tracking back from Gregor though. Doesn’t take long for Joffrey Michel to turn on the after-burners for a 5-0 buffer. Scots get hold of the ball finally and my man Roddy Grant delays his pass perfectly to release Richie Vernon to tie things up nicely. 5-5 @ Oranges.

To-ing and Fro-ing from both sides at the start of the second but it’s the busy portly Farid Sid who scampers through with the Scots all adopting tea-pot stances looking at someone to blame.

Nice support form Adamson gets the Scots back in this 10-10 and rendition of ‘Flower of Scotland’ is barked out by some well lubricated Tartan clad fans on our far side. Conversion is good – it’s 12-10 to the boys in blue.

Great finish here- The French so often the sorcerers of last magic form their own half go through four or five phases before finally Albalejo spots a gap and does one…try time 15-12 to France. They meet the Aussies in the Bowl Final.

Match 35 Australia v Wales

First Bowl Semi Final – both coaches O’Connor (Australia) and John (Wales) will view this a important pre-World Cup game preparation.

Feature of the Welsh this weekend has been untidy loose passing and firstly sevens guru Damon Murhpy and then Richard Kingi – receiving a nice inside pass from Afusipa Taumoepeau. Welsh get themselves back in it with Craig Hill showing some decent juice. 14-5 at the half.

Mury gifted an early touchdown before a textbook 3 on 2 is executed pertinently by the Boys from Down Under. 26-5. The Welsh use the Sevens Series as a development tool for 15s and it has shown this weekend, but when they click they look useful…good team score for Rhys Webb and a minute later some patient phases are finished off by Tal Selley. Another Webb score is too late for a valiant Wales – 26-24. It’s the Aussies who go through to the Bowl Final. Ripper!

Match 34 – Mexico v Canada

Now come on Mexico – I am imploring you to score your first points of the weekend – will the often feisty Canadians give them a sniff?

Nay ideal start with scrummy Philip Mack knowing the ‘craic’ albeit with some unnecessary hitch kicks to grab an early brace. Davey Moonlight gets a peach off an offload form Bryn Keys and it’s 19-0 to Canada. Pretty much 0% possession from the Mexicans in that half unfortunately…half time drinks to a bit of Kid Rock.

Phil MacKenzie (more then likely to be called ‘Macca’ or the ‘Big Mac’ in the locker room) goes under the sticks early, whilst the other one – Philip Mack (‘The Mack Attack’) goes in for his hat-trick – 31-0.

Crowd sensing Mexico’s desperation gets vocal and urge them on for their first USA Sevens 2009 points. YES THERE IS A GOD! With the hooter gone a dink forward sees Mauricio Rios flies in to score dramatically! They do get their try after a weekends mauling. Yes Canada are through to the Shield Final but the Mexicans are doing a lap around PETCO with the crowd appreciating their efforts – that’s what sevens is all about.

Match 33 – Japan v Uruguay

First Shield Semi Final could be a close one with the sides pretty evenly matched. Starving up here and being stubborn and not forking out for the $9 media buffet, so eating dry bread like a London pigeon – glitz and glamour.

Like that and I have missed most of the first half, not much to report apart from Yusaaku Kuwazuru pinning his ears back and going in from half way. He repeats this before Uruguay’s Jeronimo Etcheverry sits a Japanese defender down with an impressive hand-off a chip through and a pen try is awarded as he was taken out over the line without the ball -7-10 at the half.

Well recycled ball from ‘Los Teros’ sees Arocena over and this is followed up with a lovely line taken by Santiago Gibernau – 21-10 to the South Americans. Cheeky squeeze ball sees sub Crosa go over blind – why do teams defend that so badly? Los Teros looking comfortable here it’s 26-10 –that’s how it finished here. Uruguay into the final and be good to see them with some silverware for their efforts this weekend.

20:49

God damn – only in America! As the high-school marching band parade around the pitch, there is a marriage proposal (and acceptance) and kissing cam shown on the big screen. But the cream of this little 20 minute interlude is undoubtedly the US Baseball journalist on my right hand side asking me for a 5 minute run-down of the rules of rugby – no rest for the wicked.

Match 32 Kenya v USA

The two nations with the biggest support at the USA Sevens had mixed days yesterday but can turn over anyone on their day. This is so evenly matched - I’m literally clueless here…canny wait.

Good start for the Africans a lassoing jinking run from Biko Adema sees him go straight through from the off and its 7 nil. Rachel, the Kenyan journalist next to me gives a ‘woop’ of joy.

Nese Malifa really impressed me yesterday he’s elusive and a dummy/step hybrid here puts big Matty Hawkins through to level things up at the break.

The US Eagles Mascot is bopping with USA flyer James ‘Guppy’ Gillenwater’s personal fan club. Big fan of their nicknames the US, captain Wyles is known as Shrek…good to see the gorgeous blonde bunnies from yesterday back again today too.

Back to the proper stuff - whose going to meet Argentina in the semis? Simple stuff from Chris ‘Shrek’ Wyles as he cleanly puts ‘Guppy’ in for an easy ‘touchdown’ from the off and PETCO erupts - 14-7 to the States. Crazy end here, with 3 seconds to do a quickly taken Kenyan line-out sees the ball picked up US Swiryn who races up to the line only to be hauled down a metre short and bundled into touch, the ship horn goes and its pandemonium Stateside they are in the CUP SEMI-FINALS!!! - 14 -7. The hosts are a step nearer to their first Cup win ever!

I need a break after that…

Match 31- Argentina v Samoa

Samoa looked back to their best yesterday missing big hits, hard straight running with speed out wide. Argentina will continue to mix frenetic ‘D’whilst getting the ball to key men like Amorosino, Camacho, Cora. The Puma’s light blue and white strip with Cambridge University coloured socks means they win the ‘The UR7s unofficial best stash on the circuit appreciation award’. Who is headed to the semis?

Quickest Try of the tournament, literally from the off as a big bullocking Treviranus collects a messy kick-off to score.

Crucial score before the break with a lovely floated Amorosino pass puts that man Cora in -210 times he has now touched down in the IRB Sevens, head and shoulders above anyone else. 7-5 to the Pumas as the half-time oranges are bought on.

Rudi Moor’s half-time team talk has had an inverse effect if anything as Pumas score twice from the off. Firstly a Maradonaesque chip from Rodriquez over a helpless Samoan extends their lead to 14-5 and then lazy last ditch tackle attempt from Treviranus lets replacement Fleming skip past him, 21-5 to the Arg. And that’s how it finished – bit of a damp squid to finish unfortunately for the large Polynesian presence at PETCO but the Puma’s are going unnoticed through this tournament…will they repeat their 2004 win?

Match 30 – Fiji v England

Second quarter-final and it’s another potential beauty, with the resurgent Fijians looking to scalp the Wellington winners.

This boy Rokodiva really impressed me yesterday he is bigger then a Serevi and Ryder say but he glides in a similar fashion and if far too quick for Kevin Barrett there. 5-0.

Fijian contingent in the crowd really getting behind their boys. An ugly hoof from forward Goneva gifts an England possession, an exquisite chip from Ollie Phillips sees Biggs race through he is smashed without the ball by Kolinisau- Penalty Try 7-5 to the English…

Hooter goes but England sense points. A flying Biggs make 40 years burst and with some brilliant back of the hand flicks from Gollings and Barratt allows the big man Vickerman through and it’s 12-5 at the break.

England’s defense is looking rock solid here – they only missed two tackles yesterday in their three games and Ben Ryan’s unit look very organised.

Needless penalty against England – chat back – Fiji go side to side patiently and suddenly there are big numbers right, Phillips ushers Naba to the corner, making the conversion a big ask. 10-12. Goneva is the man to save the day with the extras but his attempt is similar to a 36 golf handicapper’s hooked tee shot and its 12-10 at the whistle and England are through to the semi-final against the Boks.

Match 29 –South Africa v New Zealand

It’s the big one, the first cup quarter-final…this is too close to call. Two great teams, two great coaches….first v second in the Series. I’m pumped!

Brutal exchanges early on with some feisty tackling – jeez they both want this – badly. Boks playing lot more direct then usual its worked in this instant with Snyman put into space from Horne’s pass and it’s 5-0 so SA.

Little bounces not going the Kiwis way so far…magic from the pocket dynamo Gio Apland jinking his way past three defenders and hitting Ebersohn out wide, great nudge form Dazel and it’s 12 zip to the Boks.

Minor crisis for the men in black –step up their most experienced campaigner Zar Larence fixing two men in the midfield before releasing the gassy Waqasduadua. 12-7. Could be key that…half-time.

Scrappy start to the second period, both teams pretty cautious with so much at stake. Crisp passing in the midfield sees replacement Zangqa screams through 19-7…looking ominous for Tietjens. Another Kiwi penalty for not releasing and its game set and match for the Boks who advance through to the semis. Treu and Tietjens shake hands and the Kiwis were never at the races if I’m honest, Captain D.J Forbes being missed big time here…

Match 28 – France v Canada

French blitz an early brace, no build up to discuss just a missed Canadian tackles on half way gifting easy run ins for Messrs Jaouher and Deniau (a sort of prettier version of 15s star Sebastion ‘Seabass’ Chabal). Adam Kleeberger goes up the sort side in fron of us to gain some parity at the break 12-7 – France. Kleeberger isn’t small.

Farid Sid – portly and stockey - snatches an early try in the 2nd but it’s cancelled out by Phillip Mack who goes blind at a breakdown to scoot in from the 22. 19-12 to the Frenchies. Lot of the top teams love to work that short side sucking in as many bodies as possible – it’s also often badly defended in 7s.

Weak from Shaun Thompson’s boys there letting Albaladejo scythe through for an easy French touchdown – 26-12. And that’s how if finishes.

18:39

Kiwis and Boks warming up on the far side. Coaching legends Tietjens and Treu have both sides in a gee up huddle with their quarter-final looming in 20 minutes...

Match 27 – Scotland v Mexico

It was a tough gig for Mexico yesterday conceding 162 points and scoring none – They are very much in a development phase of their rugby. They host the 2011 Pan American Games where Sevens will be drawing themselves in for the first time.

Nay ideal start for the crème de la crème of Mexican 7s though as hooker Scotty Riddell, winger Colin Gregor, and captain Roddy Grant are over before you can say ‘Arriba’Scoits and its 19-0.

Meixcan support has been awesome all weekend with a pocket of fans making the short trip over the border to San Diego to lift their boys. Quick weather update, hazy, brisk, refreshingly cool, no danger of tanning for Heymann today. Plus facile pour L’Ecosse with another try before the break, its 26-0 – but do the Mexican fans care? Not a jot as they jive to a familiar Mexican tune (no idea of the name) around a filling up PETCO.

Scotty Riddell is to big for the Mexican defence to handle as they send an open invitation for him to walk over the whitewash, closely followed by the ginger nugget himself –not Snooker’s Steve Davis – but their skipper and go to man R.Vernon. 38-0. Rory Hutton, Marc Teague rub some more tequila salt into the Mexican wounds and it finishes 50-0. Professional from the Scots –Coach Gemmell will be happy. They now face the Aussies in the Bowl Semis. Mexicans still no points this weekend…

Match 27 – Wales v Japan

Nothing to write home about for either of these two yesterday (apart form a Welsh win over England in the 6 Nations). Actually a lie – my stat man informs me that the Welsh made the most passes yesterday – 138 to be precise, a ratio of 46 if you honestly care.

Welsh have their ‘away kit’ on here – a disgraceful bright lemon little number.

Suzuki as his name might suggest isn’t slow and he gives the Japanese the opening points bouncing on a loose welsh pass. Welsh going route one here using their superior physicality with an always energetic Merriman finding Chris Davis 5-7.

Nice line from Suematsu there cutting inside and eventually it’s the little Matsushita who wriggles over 12-7 – his mates warming the bench enjoyed that. Half-time folks.

Just realised I have played against Welsh forward James Merriman at school. He played 7 for that welsh rugby hotbed Llandovery College - I was a diminutive 10 – seemed to remember he smashed me all day…next.

The very unwelsh sounding Rhodri McAtee smashes over, after a basketball style pop form my old mate Merriman and clean break form Chris Davies. 14-12. Japan coach Watura Muratu is running the changes here with his side blowing hard and veteran Tal Selley spots a huge vacuum of space to go over. Lee Williams finishes the job a minute later and it’s 28-12 to the Welsh as the horn blows. Fat lady is not singing yet though for Japan who have the Shield to now concentrate on.

Match 26 – Australia v Uruguay

First up is the Aussies against the Uruguayans. The Aussies on day one showed glimpses of their ability but ultimately flattered to deceive to often running out of steam. The South Americans started with bang shocking Kenya but then got put away against the Kiwis and Frenchies rather comprehensively.

Aussies looking strong and powerful here the 18 year old Luke Morahan –out gassing the cover defence early on. Aiden Toua then does his best ballet impression twirling round Llovet to dive over before ‘step man’ Richard Kingi takes advantage of a spilled bass to run in unopposed. 15 -0. That’s more like it though, a lovely team try with ever member of ‘Los Teros’ getting their hands on the ball sees the ball recycled and Santiago Carracedo goes over. 15-5 at the break.

Just looking over the stats from yesterday – Urugyay topped the ‘missed tackles’ league table missing 18 yesterday.

They start the second period (getting into my US sports jargon by the way) with a bang though nice linking between Llovet and Carracedo sees the latter wrestle over in the corner. 15-10. Nice from the youngster Morahan (Oz’s top try machine in his debut season) a, little shimmy combined with old school dummy scissors does the job to resort Aussie order. Toua puts it out of the Uruguay’s reach and it is 29-10 at the horn.

17:29

Lets not forget the Bowl, Plate, and Shield Competitions.

First up is the Bowl, which involves the teams who finished third and fourth in their groups yesterday- Australia v Uruguay, Wales v Japan, Scotland v Mexico, France v Canada

The losers of these games will go to contest the Shield. The losers of the Cup Quarters will go straight into the Plate. Lots of silverware up for grabs here folks…

17:19

Some cracking cup quarters to look forward to here particularly New Zealand V South Africa - a re-run of last weeks brutal semi in Wellington, which the Kiwis edged 7-0.

The beauty of the IRB Sevens World Series this season is that the standards and competition is so high it is genuinely impossible to predict what is going to happen today – honestly believe any of the eight quarter finalists have a shout.

Today is the last official run out before the World Cup just over two weeks away in Dubai…

Cup Quarter finals

South Africa - New Zealand
Fiji - England
Samoa - Argentina
Kenya – USA

17:04

Bula Bula! Welcome to day 2 of the USA Sevens here at he magnificent PETCO Park – officially home of the San Diego Padres Baseball team, but for this weekend it is overrun with pure unadulterated ‘Sevens Heaven’.

Twas an absolute pleasure to be here yesterday, although there might have been less upsets then there was last week in Wellington we did witness an astonishing turn around by the Kenyan team. A lethargic start against Los Teros of Ururguay proved costly going down 14-12. Yet they turned things around dispatching France then shocking New Zealand 24-7 to steal Pool B from under the noses of the Kiwis.
