    To one of the great upsets in World Sevens Series history in Perth, on Sky Sport

    To one of the great upsets in World Sevens Series history in Perth, on Sky Sport


    The New Zealand men's sevens team have been stunned 17-12 by Uruguay in pool play.

    Uruguay also shocked league leaders Fiji earlier in the day.

    No such trouble for the New Zealand women's side, after trouncing Brazil 50-7 and Ireland 46-nil in their group stage games so far.
