South Africa Wins Hong Kong Sevens

The Blitzboks' victory marks a historic moment for South African rugby, finally securing the one major trophy that had eluded them for nearly three decades.

Ryan Oosthuizen opened the scoring in the ninth minute, setting the tone for a clinical display of speed and power.

In the women's competition, New Zealand's Black Ferns maintained their dominance by beating Australia 19-14 to win their ninth title in ten finals.

The tournament's 50th anniversary was celebrated by record crowds and hailed as a sign of Hong Kong's status as a 'global player' in world rugby.
