Rugby: Australia 7s loss hands Blitzboks World Championship title

# Rugby: The Springbok Sevens team completed a magnificent quarterfinal win over Fiji at the Bordeaux Sevens shortly after hearing they had won the HSBC World Championship and had been crowned the best Sevens team in the world. They will meet France in a semifinal this afternoon in the Bordeaux Sevens, but what happens doesn’t matter, as the crown was handed to them when their nearest rivals, Australia, were whitewashed 26-0 by France in their quarterfinal. This gave the Blitzboks an unassailable lead in the overall standings.
