Hosts Korea beat Hong Kong 12-7 in the final of the Asia Rugby Olympic qualifier in the most thrilling of circumstances to secure their place in the men's sevens competition at Tokyo 2020.
With the match in sudden death extra-time, Korea turned over Hong Kong by winning a penalty near their own try-line and then held on to possession expertly before Seongmin Jang finished off the length-of-the-field move to spark wild celebrations within the Namdong Asiad Stadium in Incheon.

Jorja Miller - Christchurch Girl’s High School
This was the girl that tore Howick apart in the final by scoring 4 tries.

@Bovidae Yeah, good on defence, too.

A STAR IS BORN - Jorja Miller 🌟
Congratulations to Year 11 Christchurch Girls' High School student Jorja Miller for winning the MVP award for the Open Girls Grade at the 2019 Youth Town Condor Sevens. The Timaru-born playmaker scored an incredible 4 tries in the final!
We can't wait to see Jorja and the rest of the tournament team play at the Sky Sport NZ World Schools 7's next weekend!

Apparently, she's also very good in XVs. She's an openside flanker.

By the way, Brian Lealiffano (Sacred Heart College) was awarded the Open Boys’ MVP award for the second year in a row.
The NZ Schools (Condor) 7s teams for the World Schools Seves tournament (Fri 13-Sat 14 Dec 2019, Pakuranga RC) have been announced.
If you want to know who are in the boys' team, you listen to this video. If you want to have a laugh, you read the sub titles on the Condor Sevens Facebook page.

Geez, she's only 15!
If she didn't come from the wrong end of the country I'd have guessed that she was Todd Miller's daughter going by that photo.
