New Zealand demolished South Africa 54-14 in the cup final of the London leg of the IRB World Sevens Series.

They ran in eight tries to two from the South Africans and were 28-7 up at half-time.

First-half tries were scored by Chris Masoe, Craig de Goldi, Amasio Valence and Eric Rush. In reply, the Boks managed a solitary effort from Paul Treu.

It was the same in the second half as the Kiwis swept the pitch with neat footwork, fantastic ball retention and bursts of pure speed.

Joe Rokocoko touched down and Hayden Reid added to his fine performance with two well-worked tries of his own. Treu managed a late consolation try.
