England's men beat holders Wales to claim the World Deaf Rugby Sevens Championships title, while England women finished runners-up having also beaten defending champions Wales on their way to the final in Tokyo, Japan.

In the third edition of the tournament, England dominated Australia 45-5 in the men's final to take the title. The outcome was reversed in the women's finale, won 31-14 by Australia.

Wales men saw hopes of a third successive title end in a 19-12 semi-final defeat by England, before losing out 25-7 to Fiji for third place.

England women beat Wales 25-12 at the same stage before succumbing to the Aussies, but Wales women beat their Fijian rivals 32-12 to end their tournament on a positive note as they finished third.
