Men's league champions Argentina and women's league champions New Zealand celebrate their HSBC SVNS triumphs at the National Stadium.
The Los Pumas Sevens had made history as they were crowned the men’s SVNS league winners for the first time in its 25th edition. Los Pumas Sevens had been the standout men’s side this season, winning three tournaments in Cape Town, Perth and Vancouver, but their form had dipped coming into Singapore. On May 4, they lost 21-5 to Ireland in the quarter-finals.
“It’s incredible to be here at this moment... I’m 37 years old and I’m still here with these guys, these great players. They are the ones that made the major difference on the field.” That comeback victory was among the world-class rugby action witnessed by legions of fans over the three days of competition.
They all lapped up the action and joined in the fun with their vocals too, belting out classics like Sweet Caroline and Livin’ On A Prayer in unison just before the men’s and women’s finals, which were both claimed by crowd favourites New Zealand.
