Selley scored one of four Wales tries in the final

Wales' successful start to the Sevens series continued when they won the second-tier Plate competition in George, South Africa.
Coach Dai Rees' team were knocked out of the main Cup competition with a 33-7 quarter-final defeat against Fiji.
But they beat France 29-24 in the Plate semi-final and proved too strong for surprise package Tunisia in the final.
Tries from Tal Selley, Martyn Thomas, Rhodri McAtee and Alec Jenkins saw them to a comfortable 26-5 victory.
In the group stages Wales - who won the bottom-tier Shield competition in Dubai last week - secured an excellent 14-14 draw with England, James Harris and Tal Selley scoring late tries.
Wales then pipped Argentina 10-7 and overcame Portugal 17-5 to secure a showdown with Sevens aces Fiji.
The islanders lost 29-12 to New Zealand in the semi-final, the All Blacks going on to beat South Africa 24-19, a repeat of last week's final - the Dubai clash claimed by the Springboks.
Wales will sit out the next two tournaments of the Sevens series, in New Zealand and the USA in February.
