The New Zealand All Blacks broke a record for wins when they defeated South Africa in the Championship match of the USA Sevens.

The New Zealanders beat South Africa 27-12 in today’s final to win their 36th straight match, having surpassed the mark of 34 consecutive victories they set in 2001-02 by defeating Kenya in the semifinals.

The All Blacks have won 6 tournaments in a row.

Some however are not impressed, and seem to delight in poking fun at the All Blacks. No doubt a wally.

It’s arrogant. It shows a lack of common sense.
