He can’t be stopped

American speedster Carlin Isles once again showed a clean pair of heels to the rest as the USA marched to their first ever World Sevens Series tournament victory yesterday in London.

The former sprinter scored a pair of blistering tries in a record 43-12 semi-final victory over hosts England, while Australia were cast aside by an equally impressive 45-22 triumph in the final.

The Australians had beaten Fiji in the semi-finals but the Pacific Islanders had already done enough to win the overall World Sevens Series title, thanks to this powerful run to the line by Savenaca Rawaca in their quarter-final win over South Africa.
