Frank Halai's golden point-try has guided New Zealand to the final of the Wellington Sevens as they beat England 17-12 this evening.
The hulking winger crossed during the sudden-death period to salvage a game that looked lost for the home side when they were down 12-0 at half time.
In
the opening spell New Zealand struggled to get their hands on the ball in the greasy conditions and couldn't get their big outside backs in to the game.
New Zealand were denied the chance to turn over possession in an attacking position during the early stages when Australian referee Anthony Moyes didn't penalise an English player for holding on to the ball.
England took their chances though and crossed twice despite some desperate New Zealand defence.
