The All Blacks Sevens have continued their undefeated start to the Olympics in Paris with a comeback win against Ireland.

The Kiwis were down 12-0 at halftime but hit back right after the break with Leroy Carter busting through the middle of the Irish defence to score under the posts.

New Zealand hit the front for the first time in the match with just under a minute to play as Ngarohi McGarvey-Black picked up the ball off the back of the ruck to score his fourth try of the tournament, and level the scores.

A crucial conversion from Andrew Knewstubb from out wide on the right sealed victory for the Kiwis as they managed to hold on and win 14-12.
