Cymru Am Byth!

Guess who won the 2009 IRB Sevens Rugby World Cup?
WALES!!!!!!
It was pretty epic. i mean, to return back from camp and the first thing i find out is Wales won the sevens world cup. They even Beat us, New Zealand! :(:
Heres a table of their games
Day One
Wales vs Zimbabwe
31-5
Day Two
Wales vs Uruguay
27-0
Wales vs Argentina
0-14
Day Three
Quarter Final
Wales vs New Zealand
15-14
Semi Final
Wales vs Samoa
19-12
Final
Wales vs Argentina
19-12
Also Scotland beat Australia 21-17 to win the plate final, and Zimbabwe beat Ireland 17-14 to win the bowl final. Some other big upsets were Argentina Beating South Africa 14-12.  The welsh team didn't have any of their famous union sidestep wizards like Shane Williams or Mark Jones either. England had previous sevens bragging rights but lost 36-21 to Samoa in the knockout stage. Dunno what happened to Fiji.
p.s Cymru Am Byth is Welsh for "Long Live Wales" so yes they can speak their own language.
