The second round of the Sevens World Series got underway as Wales snatched a late 14-7 victory against Scotland and Australia beat Canada 40-7.

Andrew Turnbull scored the first try of the tournament, but Tom Prydie and Will Price ensured victory for Paul John's side whilst Lewis Holland scored the first hat-trick of the weekend for Australia.

Fiji's Cup victory in Australia last weekend means they are the team to beat at the top of the standings, and they got their campaign off to a flying start, beating Argentina 40-7 including 26 second-half points.

New Zealand defeated USA 40-0 in their first match on day one, South Africa proved too strong for Portugal in their 17-5 victory, two Renaud Delmas tries secured a victory for France over Kenya and defending champions England beat Zimbabwe 43-0.

The UAE ran out for their first ever Sevens World Series match against Samoa which they lost 55-12 as Tom Iosefo, Paul Perez and Faalemiga Selesele scored twice each for Stephen Betham's men. The biggest cheer of the match however came for Emad Reyal who scored both of UAE's tries in the match.
