2017 Singapore Sevens
The 2017 Singapore Sevens was the eighth tournament of the 2016–17 World Rugby Sevens Series. The tournament was played on 15–16 April 2017 at the Singapore National Stadium in Singapore. This was the sixth time that the Singapore Sevens had a spot on the World Rugby Sevens Series. In an exciting final, Canada completed the 'Miracle on Grass' by jumping out to an early lead and then scoring the decisive try with 2 minutes remaining to beat the United States 26-19 and win its first-ever World Series tournament. Earlier in the day, Canada had triumphed over New Zealand and England while the US defeated Fiji and Australia to set up the first Cup final featuring both North American teams.
