And it’s gold for Australia’s women in the rugby sevens!!!

That brilliant start with a 17-0 lead at half-time set up the win, and the Australians went on with the job in the second half, clinching victory 22-12.

Maddison Levi went over in the corner for Australia’s fourth try, to make it 22-0. Ana Maria Namasi scored for Fiji with four minutes left, but the task was too great.

Charlotte Caslick finished the game in the sin-bin after a late yellow card, and Fiji scored with the final move of the tournament – but it wasn’t enough.

The Australian team now add the Commonwealth Games gold to their Olympic gold in Rio and their three rugby sevens world series crowns. Brilliant work by the Aussies, congratulations to the whole team and to coach Tim Walsh.
