Aon Uni 7s: UQ secure second Uni 7s Series title

The University of Queensland is certain to claim a second Uni 7s series title in three seasons but day two in Canberra will determine whether they share the spoils.

UQ came into the tournament six points clear of their nearest rival and are on track for another top two finish in their pool, guaranteeing them a minimum 14 points from this tournament.

That means their fierce rivals and current series runners-up Griffith University would need to win the final tournament to force an overall series tie but UQ can not be knocked out of top spot entirely.

Sydney Uni face the same equation but they are still waiting to secure their semi-final spot after a loss to the University of Adelaide in their first day of matches.

The two Queensland sides go head-to-head in their final pool match on Sunday morning, before the semis kick off at 12pm AEDT.

After day one in Canberra, it's the University of Adelaide who have made the biggest statement, sitting on top of its pool with three wins from three matches and on track for a semi-final berth.

The South Australians lead UC by two points, with Sydney Uni back in third in that pool.

The day two action kicks off on Sunday at 9am AEDT, with every moment LIVE on RUGBY.com.au.

The tournament kicks off at 9am on Saturday and continues on Sunday, with the final at 2:40pm AEDT. All games from both days' play will be streamed LIVE at RUGBY.com.au.
