Dubbed the giant killers, Red Rock put up a brave fight to come from behind and defeat Army 19 - 15 to claim the Uprising Fiji International Sevens title in the last hour.
Our rugby commentator Malakai Veisamasama said Army dominated the first half but lack of discipline cost them in the end.
Looking at the semi final results Red Rock defeated Wardens by 12 - 5 and Army beat Samurai 19-7.
And there were upsets in the quarterfinal stages earlier today.
Red Rock defeated Navy 21 - 17, Wardens defeated Waisale Serevi's Digicel Matai side 5 - 0, Samurai defeated Police 7 - 5 and in the last quarterfinal, Jope Tuikabe's Army shut out the Samoan Barbarians 25 - 5 to advance into the last four.
All the experience in the Matai side could not help them win the scores and our rugby commentator Malakai Veisamasama believed some of the referees decisions should have gone the Matai's way.
It was not the result the rugby fans were expecting with high expectations that the Matai, featuring Serevi with NZ Gordon Tietjens on the sidelines would have progressed further in the tournament.
Despite losing out on a semifinals spot, Samoan Barbarians coach Stephen Betham has hailed the tournament as a success and hopes to return with another team next year.
The finals of the Uprising 7s has just got underway between Red Rock and Army and you can catch a live commentary of the match on our sister station Viti FM with Malakai Veisamasama and Dreu Vukailagi.
