In the quarter finals they defeated the Arabian Gulf 24-7, beat Scotland 19-0 in the semi final before overcoming their injury problems to beat Canada 19-5, the all-important try coming from Aled Brew to break the deadlock at 5-5.

Dai Rees, coach of Wales - Bowl winners said

"We're really pleased with how it's gone here. We had a tough pool and lost to a Cup semi finalist and finalist, but since then we haven't lost. The job's only half done - we've got to go down to South Africa now and we've also picked up a few injuries. "The players have been outstanding. James Hook in particular has taken to it very well, ever since we started in training. He's up for player of the tournament, which is great. "We're in three events this year, plus the Commonwealth Games and they'll judge us on our results, but if we can keep bringing in Under 21 players and exposing them to this kind of competition and make them better players it stands us in good stead."
