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.

In the first of six clashes over three days against their trans-Tasman neighbours, the men in black ran out 14-5 winners at the Orakei Domain, with All Blacks winger Clarke getting more game-time than he perhaps imagined following his injection in the 12th minute. That is because the match ended up going more than three minutes overtime, thanks to some late flurries from both sides, who were content to keep playing well after the siren in what was their first match in more than a year, since the Vancouver round of the Covid-19-cancelled 2019-20 World Series. ....
