Kit McConnell, Head of Rugby World Cup
On the upsets throughout the day:
"It was an outstanding day. We had two worthy champions, but over the three days of Sevens we've just seen so much spectacular action on the field in both the men's and women's competitions. After all the hard work over the last couple of years we're just pleased with what was really an outstanding final day here."
On the impact the tournament will have on Women's Rugby and the Olympic campaign:
"It's been a fantastic showcase for the Women's Game. In terms of the Olympic inclusion we've worked very hard on promoting Sevens and Women's Sevens in particular with the IOC members. We had three of them here this weekend and they were really extremely impressed with what they saw off the field but especially on it with both the men and the women."
On whether the upsets will help the Olympic campaign:
"I think it just underlines how competitive it is generally. In terms of the Olympics it shows how many regions and countries around the world are now competitive at the top level. I think it only underlines how much rugby has grown and continues to grow."
