Fiji players celebrate with their trophy after beating South Africa (26:24) in the final match of the Hong Kong Sevens.

Fiji led throughout a pulsating final and, although South Africa responded heroically to match them try for try, Mzwandile Stick was left with a conversion near the touchline to tie with the last kick of the game. He missed narrowly to spark jubilant scenes of celebration for Fiji's players and fans, who have waited since the Adelaide tournament in April 2007 before claiming this most recent success on the IRB Sevens World Series.

Series points: Tonga (4), Canada (3), France (2), Wales (2)

Tonga broke Canadian hearts by scoring a try with the last play of the match, and kicked the conversion to win 14-12 and take the Plate title. The Canadians led 12-5 at the break after Sean Duke and DTH van der Merwe's tries were pegged back by Peasipa Moimoi and they looked set for victory until Nili Latu's late try was cooly converted by Moimoi.
Earlier the Tongans beat off the stiff challenge of France 19-10, Sosaia Palei (2) and Ualosi Kailea scoring their tries, while in the other half of the draw the Canadians put in a typically abrasive performance to score three tries to two and win against World Champions Wales, Adam Kleeberger with a brace and Sean Duke with one.

Portugal beat off the fine challenge of Uruguay to win the Bowl trophy, 14-12.

Ignacio Conti and Santiago Corracedo hit back for Uruguay
Pedro Leal earlier scored three tries against China as they claimed their place in the final with a 26-10 win against Japan, while Uruguay won through with a 28-14 victory against Zimbabwe.
