Brilliant SA 7s team
14 years 2 weeks ago
Down 19-35 with 2.53 left on the clock the SA side arose from the dead to sink the Aussies 36-35 at Murryfield. Amazing result incredible come back. The best 7s final ever according to the commentators.

Yes what a comeback (tu)
South Africa staged a superb comeback to beat Australia 36-35 and win the Emirates Airline Edinburgh Sevens at Murrayfield.
Sibusiso Sithole grabbed a last-minute try as the Springboks, who had beaten the same opponents comfortably in the pool stages, came out on top in a thrilling final.
They were not the only side celebrating in Scotland, though, as New Zealand picked up the HSBC Sevens World Series trophy.
The Kiwis picked up their 10th title in a competition that has only been running for 13 years, with their success having been sealed at Twickenham in the last round.

Brilliant never-say-die attitude - poor defence nearly cost them - I thought it was all over when Aus scored from the kick-off of the second half. Sithole showed great strength and speed in scoring the final try, but then nearly cocked it up with an unnecessary (albeit spectacular) dive when scoring the winning try.

True Frodo that last dive was a bit over the top...................
If it had gone the other way, would have been a disaster.
