It was the Australian Sevens leg of the series, held between 3 and 5 April at the Adelaide Oval in South Australia.[1]
South Africa retained their title, and took an almost unassailable lead in the 2008-09 IRB Sevens World Series, defeating rapidly improving Kenya in the final. England won the Plate, Samoa the Bowl and the US the Shield.[1]
