New Zealand increased their streak to 23 wins and 0 loses at the Commonwealth Games, wrapping up gold again with a heart-stopping win over trans-Tasman arch-rivals Australia.Whatever opposition teams throw at them it's almost as if the Games sevens title is now New Zealand's by right.
With four bit-part All Blacks in his ranks - Ben Smith, Liam Messam, Hosea Gear and Zac Guildford - ironically it was Gordon Tietjens' sevens specialists who delivered the winning tries. Final score, New Zealand 24 - Australia 17.
Sevens will be on the Olympic program for the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games.
New Zealand coach Gordon Tietjens said that now had to be the goal for New Zealand. He had an inkling Delhi would bring deliverance after a disappointing year in the sevens tournament, plumping his squad with All Blacks.
