All Blacks Sevens have bounced back from their shock early exit at Toulouse with a convincing opening day at the World Series event at London.
After failing to advance past pool play in France, the Kiwi men gained revenge over the Australians with a 24-19 in their tournament opener.
Tries to Joe Webber, Brady Rush and Caleb Tangitau were each met with a response by the Aussies, leaving Leroy Carter to dot down in the dying stages of the contest to claim victory.
Ngarohi McGarvey-Black was the star in their next match against France, running in a hat-trick of tries to his side to an emphatic 36-7 win.
Canada were the men in black's final victims of the day, racing to a 26-0 halftime lead before closing out a 40-14 win to secure top spot in the pool.
All Blacks Sevens now advance to a quarter-final clash against Ireland, who finished runners-up at the last event at Toulouse.
