Although South Africa is Series leader at the moment, Former England 7s player Dan Norton says Australia should not be ruled out.
Norton says they have a good combination of players with the likes of Maurice Longbottom and Corey Toole.
“I think they have some technical analysis and some good speed and power. But I think it is about them holding on to the ball creating a space for Maurice and Toole. Let’s hope there is some opportunity there, even if we want a win to continue, the run to continue, I think it will be exciting for the sport to have an upset as well.”
The final will for the will kick-off at 7.26 am today.
