The New Zealand team has opened the San Diego round of the IRB Sevens series with a hard-fought 19-nil win over Wales.

Lote Raikabula, DJ Forbes and Victor Vito scored for the series leaders.

New Zealand are on track to break their 34-match unbeaten record at the tournament, and now sit on 31 straight wins.

Later today New Zealand face France and Scotland.

Winger Shane Williams has scored twice to help Wales overcome Scotland 30-15 at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff to continue their unbeaten start in the Six Nations.

Williams touched down in both halves to extend Warren Gatland's 100 per cent start as Wales coach.

Defending Six Nations champions France have held off a resilient Ireland comeback to secure a 26-21 win at the Stade de France.
