Black Ferns Sevens and All Blacks Sevens double up in Dubai
New Zealand ended title droughts with the Black Ferns Sevens and All Blacks Sevens defeating Australia in both finals, breaking Australia's five-year Dubai dominance, officials said.
- On Sunday in Dubai, New Zealand's Black Ferns Sevens and All Blacks Sevens beat Australia in both finals, winning 29-14 and 26-22 respectively.
- New Zealand's wins ended long-standing droughts and streaks in Dubai as the Black Ferns Sevens ended Australia's five-year run and avenged last season's final, while the All Blacks Sevens won their first title since Singapore 2024.
- A second-half Sione Molia try and a late Jayden Keelan score secured the win after Dylan Collier and Akuila Rokolisoa put New Zealand ahead 12-5 at halftime, with Brady Rush's try-saving tackle and three conversions sealing the margin.
- The series now shifts to Cape Town next weekend, with the Australia women's team losing in Dubai for the first time after five consecutive tournament wins, and both Australian teams falling to New Zealand.
- Remarkably, the same countries met in both finals for the first time in seven world series history, while the new eight-team, two-pool format saw Argentina and South Africa fail to advance.
