Rugby: Black Ferns Sevens wins gold in Sydney; All Blacks Sevens wants to do the same

The Black Ferns Sevens wanted revenge. Just like the All Blacks Sevens. Both had what they were looking for.

The Sydney Sevens have turned into a real sweep in New Zealand, with the men's and women's teams both winning dominance in their respective finals tonight.

The Black Ferns Sevens continued their absolute dominance on the women 's world series, winning gold with a 34-10 victory over Australia. The result is their 48th consecutive victory as the team have not lost since their 31-0 win against the Australians in Sydney last year.

The All Blacks Sevens, meanwhile, bounced back from a semi-final loss to the United States in Hamilton last week to defeat the same opponent in the 21-5 Sydney final.

New Zealand is now leading the World Sevens standings in both formats, with women having 12 points over the United States, while the men are tied for points with the same enemy, but head of the breakage of equality.

"Beating Australia at home is a daunting challenge," said Black Ferns Sevens captain Sarah Hirini.

"We are a very competitive team, we do not like losing and every time we put on this black jersey, you want to keep playing and you do not want to give up on your country and your family." That's why we play. "

Stacey Waaka scored the first points of the table early in the women's final, but when Australian Emma Sykes was outmatched, it seemed like the New Zealand team would be arguing.

However, successive tries by Shakira Baker and Michaela Blyde gave the Ferns a comfortable 12-point lead at half-time.

Blyde scored his second goal of the night early in the second half to extend the score, but the Australians responded again via Sykes to retain a glimmer of hope.

But with two minutes to go, Waaka again crossed the goal to put the game out of reach of the Australians, and Blyde won his third of the match to close on an impressive victory.

The Ferns took the win without their best team on the field, after first-choice scorer Tyla Nathan-Wong was forced to miss the day of the finals in Sydney after suffering ankle injury Saturday. Nathan-Wong was on crutches yesterday and watched for his side as his team won the gold medal.

In the same way, the men's final was unbalanced, while Regan Ware and Sam Dickson tried to give New Zealand a 14-0 lead.

Ware ended a clever move while a mistake from the United States led to a counterattack that Dickson easily finished to create a comfortable buffer at the break.

Tone Ng Shiu put the game out of reach shortly after halftime. While the United States recovered one, it was only a consolation as the All Blacks Sevens won their second title of the season.
