Australia win bronze in Rugby 7s with Samoa win

Australia win the bronze medal in the Rugby 7s at the Commonwealth Games as they thrash Samoa in the third-place match at Ibrox.

Australia have secured the bronze medal in the Rugby 7s as they hammered Samoa 24-0 in the Commonwealth Games.

The Wallabies took the lead through Greg Jeloudev in the first minute of the game, although the conversion was missed by James Stannard.

Just before the break, Australia made in 10-0 as Jeloudev crossed the line for his second score, but they failed to add the extra points.

In the second half, the Wallabies began to turn the screw and Liam Gill scored their third try of the game and this time Stannard was able to convert to hand his side a 17-0 lead.

Sam Myers added insult to injury to Samoa when he scored just before the final whistle to confirm his side's comprehensive victory.
