We take a look at the highlights from the world of Sevens social media following the fourth round of the HSBC Sevens World Series.

Following New Zealand's second successive Cup victory on the 2011/12 Series, we take a look at some of the highlights from the world of social media across the weekend, and look ahead to the fifth round in Las Vegas.

During the final at the Westpac Stadium the Sevens Twitter account, now with more than 2,500 followers, was at its busiest period of the season and  '#sevens', Kenya, Fiji, DJ Forbes, England, Kenya, Samoa and England were all trending in New Zealand. 

The official Sevens Facebook page now has more than 61,500 fans, whilst the online videos from Wellington, including highlights from the tournament and players from England and Scotland answering your questions, have so far surpassed 67,000 views on the IRB YouTube channel.
