HONG KONG (AP) " Fiji won the Hong Kong Rugby Sevens for a record-extending 17th time on Sunday, beating South Africa 22-0 in a lopsided final to win their first tournament since the Rio Olympics. "At the start of this tournament, I told the boys let's not think about the three-peat, let's chase it like we're gunning for our first Hong Kong title." For South Africa, the current World Series leaders, the long wait for their first Hong Kong title goes on after the Blitzboks finished runners-up for the fourth time. We needed to absorb that pressure and not make mistakes ... so credit to Fiji, they played better than us and deserved to win." Australia, beaten 33-12 by Fiji in the semi-finals, defeated the United States 26-19 to win the third-place playoff, their best result of the season.
