Oscar Ouma, Kenya captain:

"We are really proud. Last year we were in the Bowl, this year we wanted a notch higher and we did it.

Unfortunately we couldn't win but hopefully we can go a notch higher in Vegas. It is an honor to play for Kenya and to represent all the people."

Rob Vickerman, England captain, on winning the 2013 Hertz Sevens:

"I was looking back at my photos in 2009 (last time England won in Wellington). I had some secret slideshows of them this week if I am being honest.

"To do it with these guys today though is a really special thing. And a really special mention for Sam (Edgerley, the winning try scorer) , he has worked really hard for this."

Sam Edgerley, England, after scoring the wining try in the final:

"It is just fantastic, I am overwhelmed to be honest. It is my first tournament win for England, and I am the proudest man in the world.

"We had a really good build up to this, we didn't have the best start to the season, so we made a promise to ourselves, we made a promise to get out of it and we did.

"We said it was a man's test, and we were the men."

DJ Forbes, New Zealand, on the All Blacks Sevens finishing third: 

"I think ultimately it is about the World Series, but we are extremely disappointed not to win in our home tournament.

"Everybody loves to play at home, it is a little bit gut wrenching, we had some opportunities in that game against Kenya but a few little crucial errors cost us.

"Hopefully we will learn our lessons and come back stronger."

Unofficial player of the tournament Collins Injera of Kenya, magnificent, closely followed by Mat Turner of England.

England go up to collect their traditional necklaces and are clapped warmly by a valiant Kenya. Soon the Cup will be held aloft by England - the champions of Wellington!

Kenya still only have six men at the start of Extra Time and strong defence for England turns the ball over. Dan Norton runs wide and Sam Edgerley is there first to pick up the ball at the back of the ruck. He goes over for the winning score. England win 24-19 and are the champions of the 2013 Hertz Sevens!

Kenya have a second man sent to the bin - Andrew Amonde. And with the two man advantage England score through Christian Lewis-Pratt to tie it up all 19-all. EXTRA TIME!

YELLOW CARD to Oscar Ouma. Kenya are one short. England have their chance. Tom Powell goes for the line but he drops the ball as he goes to place it down! Can Kenya hold on? 52 seconds left!

England knock on and it's a scrum to Kenya. Both teams exhausted now. Three minutes left! Kenya still lead 19-12.

Incredible scenes as Collins Injera sprints away for Kenya but is tackled metres short. Now England have a penalty. Four mintes to play!

The crowd chant "Kenya Kenya Kenya" but the Lions knock on and England have a chance. Now Kenya get a penalty and the clear. Six minutes to go!

Wow, just wow. What a final we have on our hands. Willy Ambaka sprints past Mat Turner of all people to make it 19-12 to Mike Friday's side!

Oscar Ouma is having some day. He sprints down the line to draw Kenya level 12-12

There is only one crowd favourite now in this final

Or maybe not. Horace Otieno gives Kenya a score. 12-7 after five minutes. Great match so far.

Christian Lewis-Pratt adds to England's bright start, as they take a 12-0 lead after just three minutes. Has Kenya's semi final taken it out of them?

Dan Norton ghosts through the Kenyan defence to give Ben Ryan's side a 7-0 lead in the Cup final

Here we go....

But Gillies Kaka goes over for the deciding score and New Zealand win 17-7 to claim 3rd place.

Gillies Kaka breaks through two tackles and sprints away to score. New Zealand up 10-0 but just when it seems the game is over Samoa score through Reupena Levasa. 10-7 to New Zealand with ninety seconds to play!

The final pits the only two undefeated teams in the tournament up against each other: Kenya who have won all five matches and England who have won four and drawn one, against the USA.

We're into the 3rd place play off and the All Blacks Sevens take the lead through a try to Sam Dickson. Conversion missed. New Zealand lead Samoa 5-0.

The last time Kenya met England was in the first match of the 2012-13 HSBC Sevens World Series in the Gold Coast. The score 14-all! Overall they have played 28 times with England winning 19 times, Kenya seven and two draws.

James Johnstone crosses for Scotland but a try to Peter Lee closes it out for Australia. The Qantas Mens Sevens win the Shield 22-7 and Mick O'Connor will be delighted with his young squad who are starting to come of age. They played six games at the tournament and lost just once, to New Zealand, recording strong victories over South Africa, Fiji, Portugal and Scotland (twice).

An impressive first half from a very impressive young Australian team and they lead Scotland 17-0, well on the way to claiming the Plate. Helped by Colin Gregor being sin binned in just the second minute they scored three tries through Sean McMahon, Pama Fou and Shannon Walker.

Sean Duke after Canada defeated Fiji to win the Bowl:

"We feel absolutely great, it is a good feeling knowing we put everything out there and finished on top.

We did beat South Africa and Fiji but overall we were a bit disappointed to not go through on points differential to the Cup, but still looking back we are pretty happy."

"We're all looking forward to Vegas."

John Moonlight bolts away for the decisive score and Canada now lead 28-19 with 30 seconds left! The conch goes and Canada have beaten Fiji to win the Bowl here in Wellington.

Ilai Tinai shows amazing speed to race away and score his second try and Fiji trail by just 21-19 - three minutes left.

Canada hit back with two smart tries to Taylor Paris, his second of the match, and Sean Duke, his fifth of the tournament, and they lead 21-14 at half time.

Ilai Tinai darts away to score and Fiji lead Canada 14-7 in the Bowl final!

A long break from Sean Duke for Canada and they get a penalty. From the tap Taylor Paris bursts through and Canada lead 7-0. But Mr Reliable, Joji Baleviani Raqamate, sprints away for Fiji to score his fifth try of the tournament and we're all tied up at 7-7.

Mike Friday, Kenya coach, on the amazing upset victory over New Zealand in the Cup semi final:

"I am so proud of the boys, to come from 14-0 down.

"We have had two educations from New Zealand on how to play the game in losing two semi finals. But that mental belief is starting to come, such a big part of the game of Sevens, and credit to them.

"14-0 down in Wellington, to come back and win it at sudden death, that is great spirit and that typifies this Kenyan team."

And Wales complete their own stunning comeback with a try to Lee Williams, coming back from 21-0 down to beat Tonga 26-21 and win the Shield!

Kilifi Latu is sent to the sin bin and Wales take full advantage with tries to Will Price and Rhys Shellard. Rhys Jones converts Shellard's try superbly from the sideline and we're locked up at 21-21.

Tries for Tonga were scored by Saia Palei, Feofaaki Holoia and a penalty try that saw Rhys Jones sin binned. Luke Morgan hit back for Wales.

It's half time in the Bowl final and after three quick tries to Tonga they led 21-0 before Wales hit back with a try of their own just on the conch.

Apologies for the delay in transmission but after one of the biggest upsets in IRB Sevens World Series history and unprecedented Twitter activity the blog went into temporary meltdown. But we're back and still in shock here after Kenya beat New Zealand 19-14 in Extra Time to make it through to the Cup final of the 2013 Hertz Sevens.

Amazing scenes here. The crowd is stunned as Kenya come back from 14-0 down with a try after the conch to force extra time against the All Blacks Sevens, before Oscar Ouma scores the all-important first points to put Mike Friday's side into the final against England.

The All Blacks defend superbly but finally Kenya break through and Oscar Ouma sprints away to score. Now Collins Injera goes under the posts and we are all tied up at 14-all. EXTRA TIME!

Kenyan dominate possession but the All Blacks Sevens stand strong and work their way down field. Tim Mikkelson is tackled into touch but somehow manages to get the ball down for a try, then Tomasi Cama converts from the sideline - amazing! New Zealand lead Kenya 14-0 at half time.

A mistake from the kick off by Kenya and Tomasi Cama scores and converts. New Zealand out to a 7-0 lead over Kenya in the second Cup semi.

The conch sounds early and England kick the ball out. The referee demands the line out be taken despite England protests and Samoa have one last chance. But they lose the line out, England kick the ball in to touch and this time it is over. England win 21-19 and are into the Cup final. Their first Cup final since Dubai in 2012!

Samoa score through Lio Lolo and it's 21-19 with 10 seconds left!

Samoa re-gather but England defend brilliantly and the ball is turned over. Marcus Watson is there to dart over and England, after being down 12-0, now lead 21-12.

Stunning play from England as Dan Norton chips to the wing for Christian Lewis-Pratt, who has been superb, and he flicks inside to Mat Turner. Samoa infringe and Alatasi Tupou is sin binned!

Great play Marcus Watson. He snakes across field then picks up Christan Lewis-Pratt and England are in under the posts. Samoa have had all the play but suddenly England lead 14-12 at half time.

Now Alatasi Tupou scores to put Samoa up 12-0 but England come straight back down the other end and a questionable Mat turner pass puts Christian Lewis-Pratt in. Samoa lead 12-7 in a tight one.

Paul Treu, SA Sevens coach, on the BlitzBokke's poor tournament:

"I think right from the start it wasn't a good start, and it most certainly isn't a good finish.

So many lessons learnt, but we have learnt them before. I know this team has more to offer than what the score board is saying.

But they need to keep the faith, keep the belief and hopefully we can amends in Vegas."

Afa Aiono opens the scoring for Samoa in the first Cup semi and the Manu lead England 5-0.

We now wait for the first Cup semi final as England take on rampant Samoa. The crowd goes berserk as the All Blacks Sevens come out to warm up before their semi final against Kenya. Can Willy Ambaka and Collins Injera conquer the mighty Sevens ABs?

Australia now go through to the Plate final where they will play Scotland for the second time in the tournament, Australia beat them 29-5 in their Pool D clash yesterday. While for South Africa a very disappointing tournament is over after they won just one game from five matches losing along the way to Canada, Samoa, Kenya and Australia.

Chris Dry gets a late consolation try but it's too little too late for the BlitzBokke. Paul Delport is then palmed off ignominiously by Ben Adams who strolls in for Australia's fourth try. Australia win 28-12.

A superb off load from Pama Fou is brilliantly scooped up by Shannon Walker and Australia are away again. The conversion is good and Australia lead South Africa 21-5.

But this young Australian team are fast and hungry and they hit straight back through Lewis Holland. Then after a close forward pass is called Australia go over again through Shannon Walker and they lead 14-5 at half time. Lots of work for the BlitzBokke to do in the second half.

Sustained pressure from the BlitzBokke and some excellent defence from Australia but eventually Philip Snyman makes a half break and puts Cornal Hendricks over. It Cornal's fifth try of the tournament and South Africa lead Australia 7-0.

James Fleming scores a final try for Scotland, Colin Gregor converts and Scotland are in the Plate final after a 35-5 victory, where they will play the winner of our next match - Australia vs South Africa.

But Scotland strike back straight away with Russell Weir going over for a joyously celebrated try and Colin Gregor landing his fourth straight conversion - Scotland 28 - Argentina 5.

Joaquin Diaz Bonilla sprints away for Argentina and they are on the board. Scotland lead 21-5 in this Plate semi final.

On the conch of half time Michael Fedo goes in for Scotland's third try and they lead Argentina 21-0 at half time.

Scotland continue their impressive form over the weekend as they lead Argentina 14-0 in the Plate semi final through tries to Mark Robertson and Scott Riddell.

Fiji now go in to the Bowl final against high flying Canada while for the brave French their tournament is over.

Joji Baleviani Raqamate races away for Fiji and scores his second try to bring it to 17-14 and with the last play of the game after the conch Benito Masilevu scores outwide to give Fiji a remarkable victory - 19-17.

Paul Albaladejo wrestles his way over from close range and France have some breathing room up 17-7 over Fiji in this Bowl semi final. Three minutes to go.

Once more Julien Candelon sprints away to score and finish off some great build up from France. It's Candelon's ninth try and he'd be the first picked in any team of the tournament. France lead 12-7 at half time.

Julien Candelon, the tournament's top tryscorer with eight tries, fights his way over and France lead 5-0. But then an inspired cross field kick from Nemani Nagusa sets up at try for Joji Baleviani Raqamate and Fiji take the lead 7-5.

Canada now face the winnner of our next match, France and Fiji, in the Bowl final. For Spain it's the end of the 2013 Hertz Sevens.

Conor Trainor goes over and Canada are in cruise control 31-0. Ciaran Hearn picks up an injury but still makes a big tackle although he only has one good arm. With a man advantage Spain finally score through Juan Cano. Final score - Canada 31-7.

Taylor Paris eludes about four defenders to score his second and Canada's third try to put the Canucks up 17-0 and after the conch Spain discover they can't fight the moonlight as John Moonlight goes over to make it 24-0 at half time.

Canada continue their impressive form on day two against Spain as they lead 12-0 thanks to tries to Sean Duke, his fourth for the tournament, and Taylor Paris.

USA dominate the second half with tries to Jack Halalilo and Blaine Scully but Wales hold on to edge the Eagles 17-15. Wales now face Tonga in the Bowl final while the USA can start thinking about Vegas.

USA take an early lead against Wales in the second Bowl semi final through a try to Matt Hawkins but the Red Dragons hit back with three tries to Luke Morgan, Rhys Shellard and Will Thomas to lead 17-5 at half time.

Gordon Tietjens, All Blacks Sevens coach, on the win over Australia:

"I was rapt at the turnaround. We had to, it was pretty disappointing yesterday"

"We owed it to the crowd. It's our own tournament here, and we've gotta do well."

(On Kenya in the semi final) "We've got a tough one coming up against Kenya... They're a very formidable team, unbeaten so far..."

Another try for Tonga to Saia Palei and they clinch a 17-7 victory over Portugal. Tonga will now go through to the Bowl final while for Portugal their tournament is over.

Portugal hit back with a well taken try to Joao Lino. Tonga lead 10-7 with three minutes to go.

Tonga have started well against Portugal in the first Bowl semi final and lead 10-0 at half time thanks to tries from Tevita Halaifonua and Titali Mau.

Gillies Kaka after he scored two tries for the All Blacks Sevens in the win over Australia:

"I think we played really well after yesterday. We owed it to ourselves..."

"Our attitude to the game - the boys weren't really up to it yesterday but everyone seemed to click today and get into it."

"The boys got a bit of a rark up ... and today the intensity was there."

South Africa steal a line out and Stephan Dippenaar throws a wide ball to Cornal Hendricks who scores his second try in less than a minute. Moments later South Africa get a penalty and Dippenaar gets a try for himself. From 7-0 down South Africa have hit back with three quick tries to lead 15-7.

South Africa hit back. A neat cross field kick by Paul Delport is caught by Stephan Dippenaar who feeds to Cornal Hendricks who scores in the corner. Conversion missed. Kenya lead 7-5.
