New Zealand leading Japan 19-7.
The crowd seem a long way from the action here and rather quiet. Not the standard 7s festival atmosphere.
Curry with the skills. 26-7.
What a try!!!!!!!
Rokolisoa goes through untouched.
33-7.
Cook-Savage with a clumsy knock on.
Poor 2nd half. Too much ball hogging
40-7.
Great defence by NZ. The coaches will love that.
Wasn't he in front of the kicker?
Poor play by Ng Shiu. He clocked off.
Japan with the final try.
NZ win 40-12.
A big win but with a quite a few work ons.
Both Ireland and South Africa will be a lot tougher.
Much better result than opening game Rio 2016 when we lost to Japan
Should be through to the quarters given the points difference even if we finish third in the pool
I like the athleticism of our squad. They look in great nick.
Hopefully, the skills and decision-making will be there when needed most.
Not sure I like having the 7s two days before the Opening Ceremony.

All the teams look a tad rusty - especially with their handling
Interesting to see that you can’t call for a scrum as a consequence of a free kick infringement at the scrum in 15-a-side but you can in 7s
Ireland beat Japan 40-5 which puts a bit of context on the NZ result earlier.
Ireland looking very powerful.
