Global Results - 6 December

The IRB World Sevens Series for 2009-10 kicked off with great crowds and lots of fun in Dubai. New Zealand were full value for their win.

The reigning champions came short. Fiji knocked them out in the quarters and they only just scraped home against Kenya in the Plate semis and then were beaten in the Plate Final.
