Australia have continued their strong start with a 12-7 win over New Zealand
A yellow card to Kitione Vai opened the space for Dietrich Roache to get the opener, before Vai levelled the scores.
Roache got his second right from the kick-off as the defence of Henry Hutchison and co held on for the win.
Australia have started on fire with a 47-7 win over Japan.
Coach Tim Walsh took the chance to rest gun try scorer Maddison Levi and her teammates picked up where she left off as they torched the Japanese.
There were six different try scorers, with Heidi Dennis getting a double as the Aussies were rarely troubled.
Australia have shut out France 24-0 to start New York in a big way.
Aden Ekanayake got the opener after two minutes before a timely James Turner strike gave them a 12-0 lead at the break.
From here, they controlled the lead and the game, with Archie Saunders sealing it late
