Matt Gonzalez was next to find the chalk for the Aussies as the team rounded out the match, right before Argentina crossed on full time. Australia will kick off their weekend against Samoa who is returning to the World Series before facing Spain later in the afternoon. While the team's series-leading try scorer, Corey Toole will make his first start for the side since signing through till the 2022 Rugby World Cup.

Fiji produced a powerful performance to see off New Zealand 28-17 on Sunday and clinch the World Rugby Sevens Series crown in Singapore.

South Africa’s run of six consecutive victories in the Series came to an end after their loss to Fjij but the Blitzboks still lead the standings with 98 points, 15 ahead of second-placed Australia with four events remaining. Competing in the World Rugby Sevens Series for the first time since their victory in the Canada Sevens in March 2020, New Zealand came up short after reaching the final with a perfect record. They became the first time to win the Singapore Sevens three times after their victories in the city-state in 2006 and 2018.

Earlier in the competition Ireland had beaten Japan and the USA, as well as a first ever victory over eventual winners Fiji. Playing New Zealand in the semi-final, Ireland looked like they were heading to the final after tries from Terry Kennedy and Gavin Mullin. Ireland heartbreakingly missed out on a place in the final of the Singapore Sevens and eventually had to settle for fourth place overall.

Ireland came close to a podium finish at the Singapore Sevens, but ultimately fell short to Australia in the bronze medal final.

Ireland strengthened their position in fifth place in the overall HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series standings with their fourth place finish in Singapore, as they put seven points between themselves and sixth-placed France. The men in green started the second day of the Singapore Sevens off on the right foot, as they claimed a two-point win against the USA in their quarter-final encounter to seal their place in the last four. Although Ireland will consider their weekend in Singapore to be a successful one, as they notched a first ever win against Fiji in the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series and made the semi-finals, they will know they could have achieved more.

The Kiwis scraped past Ireland to avoid a first-ever loss to the men in green.
