All 75,000 tickets have been sold for tomorrow's action as sevens fans gather to discover the final pecking order for this season's Series.

New Zealand goes into the tournament with the title all but secure as they lead second place South Africa by 19 points.

Portugal will need a season's best performance to stay in the Series for the 2014-2015 season as they sit 10 points adrift at the bottom of the table.
