Sevens side’s second title

AUSTRALIA’S men’s rugby Sevens team have won their second straight tournament, rallying from 12-0 down to beat hosts USA in the Silicon Valley 7s final yesterday.

Two tries to Ed Jenkins and a late full-field effort from emerging star Maurice Longbottom gave Australia a 15-12 win in the San Jose tournament. The victory follows Australia’s win in Munich’s Oktoberfest 7s one month ago and continues their buildup to Round 1 of the world series in Dubai on December 1.
