Samoa crowned kings of Hong Kong

[beige]

Samoa clinched the spoils at the Hong Kong Sevens courtesy of a scintillating 24-21 comeback victory over New Zealand in the final of the showpiece of the abbreviated game.

The islanders came from 14-0 down to claim the title - and the lead in the World Sevens Series.

But also let's not forget:

Aussie Amazons clinch Hong Kong women's crown
Five Rugby World Cup Sevens winners were on show as the Aussie Amazons clinched the Cable & Wireless-sponsored women's Cup title in Hong Kong after beating a competitive China 21-0 in the final.

Debby Hodgkinson, the 2009 IRB Women's Personality of the Year, scored twice in an impressive display as the Amazons retained the title they won here last year.

"To do it two years in a row is really special. We came here to prove a point and that was to play some really good rugby and actually play rugby, we didn't want to be denied that," said captain Cheryl Soon, who also led the Australian national team to World Cup glory in Dubai last year.

"Hong Kong is one of the most high profile events on the circuit so especially for the new girls it's really special. I think we had five new girls coming in this year. Now we just want to continue our success."
