Notes:
South Africa won the 2003 Dubai Sevens and lost in the Cup Semi-Finals at the 2003 South Africa Sevens[2] but no points are indicated on the IRB Series Standings for 2003-04.[3] South Africa were deducted their points for these rounds for fielding an ineligible player (Tonderai Chavhanga).[4]
