Rvive yellows

-

NEW Zealand have progressed from their pool with a game to spare in the rugby sevens tournament at the Commonweal­th Games.

After thumping Zambia 54-0, New Zealand put away Kenya in their second encounter 40-7.

It means the final pool match against Canada late last night will be to secure top spot in pool C, and a favourable finals draw for today.

The Kiwi men made a predictabl­y blistering start to their Commonweal­th Games PHOTOSPORT tournament against sevens minnows Zambia.

‘‘It was a great game. They are very similar to playing Kenya. They’re a passionate team and they’re big boys. They definitely played for their country,’’ New Zealand’s Tim Mikkelson said.
