Cape Town Sevens: New Zealand 7s 10-14 Spain 7s

Cape Town Sevens

Mighty New Zealand suffered a shock start to their bid for the World Rugby Cape Town Sevens Series at the Cape Town Stadium when they slipped to a 14-10 defeat at the hands of outsiders Spain on Friday.

Australia also had a setback on the opening day when they lost to Great Britain but it was the defeat of New Zealand, the most successful team in the history of the series, that was the big surprise in the men’s event.

New Zealand, who reached the semifinals of last week’s tournament in Dubai, produced an error-ridden display against a tigerish Spanish team.

The Spanish were good value for a 7-0 lead at halftime, with Manu Moreno scoring a try after the hooter following a period of sustained pressure.

New Zealand hit back with an unconverted try by Regan Ware immediately after the break but Spain made virtually certain of victory when Juan Ramos scored in the last minute.
