And The Winners Are....

Australian Women's Sevens who came from behind, 7 - 27  to defeat N.Z. in the Dubai Finals by a score of 35 - 27.  Canadian women lost in an upset to a last minute try by Russia, 10 - 15. This gave the ladies a fourth place standing. Canada had their two top players unable to make the trip due to injuries and Landry and Forella, speedsters both, managed to incur injury and miss out on the final.  The opportunity made it a learning experience for others, although fourth place was probably not the planned outcome.
