Australia’s men scored a 17-7 win over New Zealand in the quarter-finals of the Vancouver Sevens.

The New Zealand men and women have won both titles at the last two combined tournaments in Hamilton and Sydney.

Both teams lead their series but Australia’s win may cut the New Zealand men’s overall advantage which stands at 22 points.

After winning their last three tournaments, the New Zealand women led their series by 12 points and after reaching the semi-finals are likely to stay in first place.

Australia will now play France in the men’s semi-finals while Argentina will play Ireland.

Australia took an early lead in the quarter-final with a try to Henry Paterson.

New Zealand replied with a try to Ngarohi McGarvey-Black but Darby Lancaster’s try and a second to Paterson sealed Australia’s win.
