2007 Edinburgh Sevens

The Edinburgh Sevens is played annually as part of the IRB Sevens World Series for international rugby sevens (seven a side version of rugby union). The 2007 competition took place on 2nd and 3rd of June, and was held at Murrayfield. It was the last leg of the 2006-07 IRB Sevens World Series.

New Zealand won the tournament after defeating Samoa 34-5 in the final. Fiji were upset by Wales 21-14 in their quarter-final. A Fijian victory would have guaranteed them the overall 2006-07 Series crown, however, as a result of their loss and New Zealand's tournament victory, New Zealand won the overall series.
