Focus turns to HK 7s
Like Australia, the Hong Kong sevens will also be played for three days starting on Friday.
But the difference in Hong Kong is that there will be 24 teams taking part.
This is one tournament also that only offers prize money where the Cup winner on Sunday will walk away with US$100,000.
Fiji who has won the Hong Kong sevens tournament title twelve times, and will be defending their title this weekend.
New Zealand is behind Fiji with 9 wins and Australia has 5 wins in Hong Kong.
Meanwhile Samoa produced a brilliant display on the final day of the Adelaide Sevens to romp to Cup success against impressive USA, by 38 10, and win back to back tournaments for the first time in the IRB Sevens World Series.
In doing so, they cut New Zealand's Series lead to just two points heading into next weekend's Hong Kong tournament.
Fiji currently lies third and Cup semi finalists Australia have risen to fourth, ahead of England, Kenya and South Africa.
The match winner for the islanders, though, was undoubtedly Mikaele Pesamino, who crossed for a brace of tries in the final and 11 in the tournament, extending his personal tally to 39 for the season, the leading mark.
In the other competitions New Zealand beat South Africa to take the Plate, England won the Bowl with victory against Kenya and Japan took the Shield.
