The IRB today announced the Draw for the Finale of the 2010/2011 HSBC Sevens World Series.
Pool C is headed by resurgent South Africa, winners at the USA Sevens in Las Vegas and fourth in the World Series.
The Boks face matches against sixth-ranked Australia, Kenya and Canada, who won five of their six matches in Hong Kong to win the Bowl trophy.
“This year’s HSBC Sevens World Series has provided superb competition and a celebration of international Rugby from the start, as we all continue to build towards the Olympic Games in 2016. All 30 nations who have competed this season have added something different and brought a unique vibrancy to the action,” said IRB Sevens Manager, Beth Coalter (pictured below)
“The overall standard at the Tournaments continues to improve and entertain. While New Zealand are out there 13 points clear at the moment, in Sevens nothing is guaranteed so I’m sure we can all look forward to the destiny of the entire Series coming down to the final few games at Murrayfield.”
