Dubbed the giant killers, Red Rock put up a brave fight to come from behind and defeat Army 19 - 15 to claim the Uprising Fiji International Sevens title yesterday.

Army dominated the first half but lack of discipline cost them in the end.

Red Rock also walked away $20,000 richer yesterday after winning the final.

Looking at the semi final results Red Rock defeated Wardens by 12-5 and Army beat Samurai 19-7

In the quarterfinals, Red Rock defeated Navy 21-17, Wardens defeated Digicel Matai side 5-0, Samurai defeated Police 7-5 and Army defeated Samoan Barbarians 25-5.

All the experience in the Matai side could not help them win and it was not the result the rugby fans were expecting with high expectations that the Matai, featuring Serevi with NZ Gordon Tietjens on the sidelines would have progressed further in the tournament.
