MONACO (AP) " Spain earned the last men's Olympic rugby sevens berth when it scored in the last seconds to upset Samoa 22-19 in the final qualifier on Sunday. Spain came out of nowhere to complete the 12-team Olympic field. Not a world series regular or even seeded in Monaco, the Spaniards lost a pool game to Hong Kong 19-0 on Saturday. Samoa, which won the world series stop in Paris last month, led 19-12 in the second half, but Spain cut the deficit to two points through a Pol Pla try. We believed that we are good enough, but wow, this is pretty special."
