George Sevens Update

Surprising developments in the world of rugby today. Portugal and the USA have advanced to the quarter-finals of the South Africa (George) Sevens after some gutsy play from both sides. Portugal scored its first ever win against Samoa to lock their place in the cup rounds while South Africa narrowly escaped an upset by the USA. The two teams now join New Zealand, Fiji, Samoa, England, South Africa and Argentina in the quarterfinals in South Africa, the second leg of the IRB Sevens Series.
