Final round
The final round games all took place at Twickenham Stoop . In contrast to the previous editions, in which there were two groups whose winners competed against each other in the final, this edition, with its quarter-finals and division into cup and plate competition, was more similar to other rugby 7-a-side competitions such as the Hong Kong Sevens .
