Turner and Cama finish top of Sevens charts
At the end of another superb HSBC Sevens World Series a new name finished top of the try-scoring charts, England's Mat Turner edging his countryman Dan Norton for the honour.
Samoa's Tom Iosefo made a late charge with eight tries in London, but Turner's five on home soil added to eight in Glasgow proved enough to edge Iosefo, New Zealand's Tomasi Cama and teammate Norton, who finished one behind.
Turner's attacking prowess, combined with his creative and defensive qualities, earned him a nomination for IRB Sevens Player of the Year, the accolade eventually going to New Zealand playmaker Cama.
