A mistake from South Africa and Matias Moroni toes the ball through to score. Valentin Cruz converts the try and Argentina lead South Africa 7-0.

Ben Ryan, England coach, on winning the Shield: "It was the Shield, so you can hardly regard it as a final. That is an understatement (that it was a difficult tournament). It has been doom and gloom I have to say but we have blooded some youngsters. Luck will turn for us, as will the tide, and we will start to win. When we do we will use this as even more energy."

Percy  Montgomery, Rugby World Cup winner with South Africa in 2007, on the Dubai Sevens where he played with an invitation team: "First time in Dubai and it is really fantastic, with the women and men's Sevens going on at the same time. Great atmosphere. Sevens is very important for any Rugby player, who is looking to nurture his skills and going forward for an illustrious career."

Next up it's Argentina vs South Africa in the Bowl final.

Swing Low Sweet Chariot sounds out around The 7evens. The Shield is not the trophy England were after but following a slow start they came good to beat Australia and Spain in their last two games and at least take home some silverware.

Scott Curry gets his second after a pass from D J Forbes and it's 27-0. This is disappointing for Kenya who would have been hopeful before the match.

Scott Curry goes over and the All Blacks Sevens are cruising now. 20-0 they lead over Kenya. Tomasi Cama lands the penalty and it's 22-0, four minutes to go.

Then from the kick off Tim Mikkelson steals the ball and scores himself. New Zealand lead 10-0. Then on the half time siren Mikkelson scores his second try.  New Zealand lead 15-0 at Half Time and Mikkelson is making a bid for player of the Tournament.

Lio Lolo goes over for Samoa but the ball is ruled to be lost forward. No try to Samoa! France lead 5-0, four minutes to go.

France still lead at half time 5-0 as they control the pace of this first Cup semi final. Samoa will need to come up with something in the second half or France will play in their second successive Dubai Sevens final.

The little dynamo of France Terry Bouhraoua ducks over for a try outwide and France lead Samoa 5-0 in the Cup semi-finals after 2 minutes.

Australian coach Mic O'Connor on his team's disappointing results in Dubai : "We started okay but we just ran out of steam, just mentally between the ears.

That is testament to their belief and their desire and also their appreciation to believe in the systems that are there and go out and execute one on one."
