South African Sevens team’s incredible run of four tournament wins in a row came to an end at the Valladolid Sevens in Spain when they lost in the dying moments of the final to Australia.
The Blitzboks, the World Rugby Sevens series champions, were bidding for a fifth tournament win in a row, but were beaten 26-19 by Australia.
The Valladolid Sevens is the second leg of the Sevens World Championship, and South Africa remain the top team in the race to that championship.
South Africa is on 38 points, four points ahead of Argentina, with the Bordeaux Sevens in France still to come in a week’s time.
