Fiji crowned Hong Kong Sevens champions again.

Fiji retain their title with a 21-7 win over New Zealand, while hosts HK got to the Qualifier tournament final but were beaten again by nemesis Japan.

That’s it for another year folks. Here’s the key takeaways:

• Fiji win 21-7 over New Zealand, their fourth title in Hong Kong in five years
• Stretch lead on World Series to 5 points over New Zealand
• England win plate, Argentina bowl, Russia shield
• Hong Kong make qualifier final but lose out narrowly to perennial nemesis Japan

Thanks for tuning in – we’ll be back for the Olympics.

Some reaction from Fiji coach Ben Ryan. Fiji have made 9 finals since he took over and won all 9, says colleague Matt Scott

“It was a tight final and I thought our defence was very good,” he said.

“I think we made the right decisions at the breakdown. I don’t think they were ever going to stop us scoring tries.

“We just needed to stop them scoring and for the majority of the game our defence was very good.”
