Aussie men win Silicon Valley 7s

Australia have rallied from 12-0 down to beat USA 15-12 and claim the Silicon Valley 7s title in San Jose.

Australia's men's rugby Sevens team have won their second straight tournament, rallying from 12-0 down to beat hosts USA in the Silicon Valley 7s final on Sunday.

Two tries to Ed Jenkins and a late full-field effort from emerging star Maurice Longbottom gave Australia a 15-12 win in the San Jose tournament.

The victory follows Australia's win in Munich's Oktoberfest 7s one month ago and continues their build-up to round one of the world series in Dubai on December 1.
