Argentina has won the Bowl title at the Adelaide Sevens with a close 26-21 victory over the US.

The Argentines looked to be cruising at 19-7 midway through the second half but USA staged a strong comeback and took a 21-19 lead on a Todd Clever try.

However, Argentina was not to be denied and Gabriel Ascarate’s mazy run and try won the final for the South Americans.

Earlier in the Bowl quarterfinals, the US scored an unexpected 26-19 win against England before knocking off Scotland 29-14 in the semifinals.

South Africa has ended New Zealand’s string of 47 victories in a dramatic finale to the tournament with a 15-7 scoreline. Fabian Juries was the star for South Africa scoring two solo tries in a near faultless South African display.

The victory is only South Africa’s sixth against New Zealand in almost ten years and the first since Dubai in 2006.
