    France stands as the final hurdle in the way of the Black Ferns Sevens this afternoon as they look to create history at the world cup in San Francisco

    France stands as the final hurdle in the way of the Black Ferns Sevens this afternoon as they look to create history at the world cup in San Francisco


    The New Zealand women's team can become the first team in history to win back to back sevens world cup titles in this afternoon's grand final.

    Tyla Nathan Wong is one of four players returning from the victorious 2013 squad, and says there's no room for error against a French team already on a high.

    She says they have to be clinical in every area of the game.

    The final begins at 2:47pm.

    Meanwhile, the All Blacks Sevens have come from behind for a gritty 12-7 win over France in the men's competition to set up a semi-final against tournament favourites Fiji.
