New Zealand rookie, Declan O’Donnell capped off a wonderful tournament with a hat trick in the final, tearing the English defense to shreds.
O’Donnell had a near miss going into the Wellington Sevens after getting involved in a skirmish outside a pub the week before the tournament but he managed to put it behind him pretty quickly. He now sits in third place on the player try scoring table for the season with 17.
