Print Edition
KENYA caused a huge upset to land its first ever major sevens title by thrashing defending world series champion Fiji 30-7 to win the Singapore Sevens tournament yesterday.
Collins Injera moved within two tries of Argentina’s Santiago Gomez Cora’s leading mark of 230 in the all-time scoring charts with a double in the upset victory at the National Stadium to secure Kenya’s first title in 17 years. The Africans beat France 28-7 in the quarterfinals and Argentina 15-12 in the semis yesterday before taking out the Fijians. Kenya shot up to seventh in the standings after its 22-point haul in Singapore, with Fiji extending its lead at the top to eight points over South Africa with two rounds left in France and England. South Africa, beaten narrowly by Fiji in the semis, finished third after thrashing Argentina 28-0. Samoa landed the second-tier Plate title by shocking New Zealand, Scotland edged the US for the Bowl, and Russia crushed Wales to win the Shield.
