The All Blacks sevens were unbeaten after five matches and hammered Australia in Sunday s first clash.
The All Blacks sevens are one win away from sweeping Australia across three days in their warm-up tournament for the Tokyo Olympics. They emphatically won 36-5 in match five for their biggest victory of the weekend and look like hitting the Australians for six on their long-awaited return to the international game. Their last tournament was the Vancouver Sevens in March 2020. The All Blacks sevens, who were unbeaten in the trans-Tasman clashes after winning both matches on Friday and Saturday respectively, were on top from the kick-off and William Warbrick pierced through a gaping hole in Australia s defence for the opening try to set the tone at the Orakei Domain.

The All Blacks sevens hit Australia for six with a clean sweep in matches against their trans-Tasman rivals across three days of their Auckland warm-up tournament for the Tokyo Olympics. They emphatically won 36-5 in match five to kick off Sunday morning at Orākei Domain – their biggest victory of the weekend – and finished day three with a 31-14 triumph to make it six wins from six in a contest played as though it was an Olympic final. The tournament’s format with the two teams was similar to July’s Tokyo Games and both had their strongest line-ups for the sixth match in their first international fixtures since the Vancouver Sevens in March 2020.
