Big comebacks and top tries as the HSBC Sydney Sevens returns in ... (World Rugby)

We review the opening day's play from Australia where New Zealand, leaders in both of the Series, maintained their winning,momentum.

France’s Ian Jason scored at either end of the match but once Stacey Fluhler cancelled out her first effort with a chip-and-chase try there was only ever going to be one winner. Searching for their first win over France in Australia since 2010, Japan did not waste the chance to gain control of the scoreboard. Amee Leigh Murphy Crowe was missing from Ireland’s line-up for their first game against Spain, a nervy 14-12 win, but they could call on another flyer in Beibhinn Parsons to see them home. Having drawn a blank in the first game, Maddison Levi had lost her position as the leading try-scorer on the women’s Series to New Zealand’s Michaela Blyde. They led 28-0 thanks to four converted tries from Iowane Teba, Pilipo Bukayaro, Manueli Maisamoa and Waisea Nacuqu when Jeremaia Matana saw red for making contact with the head. But tries from Neueli Leitufia and Motu Opetai turned the game around for Samoa. You may click to consent to our and our third parties processing as described above.
