Watch: Kiwi Tyla King becomes all-time women's SVNS top point-scorer

New Zealand’s Tyla King has become the all-time top point-scorer on the women’s SVNS Series with the Black Ferns Sevens playmaker reaching the 1365 marker in Los Angeles.

King, 29, debuted at senior level for the New Zealand Sevens as a teenager in 2012 and has gone on to enjoy one of the greatest rugby sevens careers in history.

The 2023 World Rugby Sevens Player of the Year is both an Olympic and Commonwealth Games gold medallist, and has also helped New Zealand win the Rugby World Cup Sevens twice.

But King’s latest achievement is all about her. Rugby fans at LA’s Dignity Health Sports Park made sure to show appreciation for King on Saturday after the Kiwi crossed for a historic five-pointer.

After getting their quest for SVNS LAX glory with an emphatic 41-5 win over South Africa on Friday night, the New Zealanders backed that up with another dominant victory.

King scored that try and added four conversions as the Black Ferns Sevens ran away with an utterly relentless 40-nil win over Brazil.

After winning their first Cup final of the season in Vancouver, the women in black are focused on “continuing our flow” in the City of Angels.

“It’s just about staying cool, calm and collected as we’ve been saying these last couple of weeks,” King explained.

“We found our flow, finally, this season in Canada and hope to continue it here in LA.”
