Rugby Sevens: Black Ferns, All Blacks Sevens cement places in final four in Toulouse

  • 14/05/2023

Black Ferns Sevens and All Blacks Sevens have continued their undefeated run at the Toulouse Sevens to book their places in the semi-finals.

The NZ women began day two by blitzing Canada 28-7, with Jorja Miller scoring a first-half try double.

In their quarter-final clash, the newly crowned champions comfortably downed Japan 29-7, keeping their hopes of a sixth straight event title intact.

On Saturday, Black Ferns Sevens were crowned World Series champions after their opening wins against Poland and the United States.

They'll face hosts France in the semi-finals at 8:06pm, Sunday (NZ time).

On the men's side of the draw, New Zealand battled to a 14-12 win over Uruguay, where a conversion was the difference between the two sides.

That set up a quarter-final date against Ireland which turned into a one-sided affair, as the Kiwis bolted to a 35-0 victory, with Moses Leo claiming a brace of tries.

They'll also take on hosts France in the semi-final, which kicks off at 11:54pm, Sunday.

A title win in Toulouse would likely seal the overall championship for All Blacks Sevens with an event to spare. The men's teams head to London for the series finale next weekend.
