8 December 2024
With only the winners of the four pools advancing to the Cup semifinals - the Black Ferns Sevens have done just that with a 40 to 10 win over China and a come-from-behind 22-12 victory over Japan.
The New Zealand men - though - can only finish fifth at best after a 47-15 thumping by France resigned them to second in their pool.
They had earlier edged the USA 19-17.
The Kiwi women will face France just after midnight tonight for a place in the Cup final.
