The DHL Western Province Sevens team ended the inaugural World Club 7s with a big victory over Northampton Saints at Twickenham on Sunday evening.
DHL WP had earlier gone down 19-31 to the Blue Bulls in their Shield semifinal clash, but the Men in Blue & White showed great resilience to bounce back with a victory over last season’s English Premiership runners-up. Province beat Northampton 31-7 to round off a tough, but exciting weekend in London for the Men from the Cape. (CLICK HERE for the WP 7s squad.)
