The Black Ferns Sevens bid a fond farewell in Hamilton, but the men were unable to match.

In the men’s final, the All Blacks Sevens were under pressure early, losing Joe Webber to the sin bin for a high tackle in the opening three minutes. That triggered a quick break for the New Zealand side, with Blyde cutting in from the left edge to score. Argentina hit back midway through the second half, reducing the gap to just five points with as many minutes to play. While there might have been some concerns around the impact on the side with several players returning to the fold after focusing on the 15-a-side game for the end of 2022, it was a seamless transition. Throughout the tournament, the Black Ferns Sevens’ defence had been a big part of their game, and that showed yet again as it seemed every player made an important one-on-one tackle to keep the USA at bay. Coming into the final, they had only conceded 12 points from five matches – with all of those points being scored in their quarter-final win over Japan.
