Samoa defeat New Zealand to win Dubai Sevens

[Happy]

A try after just ten seconds by Paul Perez inspired Samoa to a stunning 26 -15 victory over New Zealand in Cup final of the 2012 Emirates Airline Dubai Rugby Sevens.

Samoa reached the final after beating last year's runners-up France 12-5 in the first Cup semi final thanks to tries from Reupena Levasa and Robert Lilomaiava.

While the All Blacks Sevens overcame Kenya 27-7 in the second semi-final, Scott Curry and Tim Mikkelson both crossing twice.

Kenya finished third after beating France 15-12 in the third place-play off thanks to Collins Injera's sixth try of the tournament.
