The Black Ferns Sevens have won the Hamilton Sevens – the first women’s Sevens Series event played in NZ - after running away with a 24-7 win over Canada in the finals.
The New Zealand women didn’t have it all their own way though, with Brittany Benn opening the scoring.
Ruby Tui was yellow carded for a high tackle on the Canadian tryscorer.
It would take the Black Ferns until right on the cusp of halftime to hit back through Michaela Blyde, who scored the first of two tries.
Her second try was a showcase of everything that has made her unstoppable in Hamilton, with speed and footwork bamboozling the Canadian defenders.
Niall Williams and Stacey Fluhler would also cross late as New Zealand piled on the points.
The Black Ferns sit at the top of the World Sevens Series standings after four rounds with 76 points, 12 ahead of Australia.
