The New Zealand Men’s National 7s Team suffered a blow in their quarter-final match after France was awarded a penalty try in the dying seconds of their match and booked a spot to the Cup semi-final.

New Zealand’s Joe Webber swiped the ball off France and cost them the game.

France won 19-17.

France have never before beaten New Zealand in back‑to‑back matches.

France will take on Australia in the first semi-finals match at 1.48am tomorrow.
