The Aussie Men’s Sevens team have fallen agonisingly short of matching last week’s Sydney success, finishing in a gallant 3rd place at the inaugural Hamilton Sevens in New Zealand.

It was almost another perfect day for Australia’s fast-improving men’s Sevens side as they looked to back up last weekend’s memorable tournament win on home soil in Sydney.

Australia’s golden girls were the hottest ticket in town for the second day in a row at the Sydney Sevens yesterday, brushing aside Spain (29-0) and Russia (31-0) on their way to another Cup Final showdown with arch-rivals New Zealand this afternoon.
