Four-time champions New Zealand will play South Africa in the final of the Commonwealth Games rugby sevens at Ibrox Stadium on Sunday (July 27).

The all-conquering All Blacks beat Delhi silver medallists Australia 19-7 in the semi-finals, with the Springboks outpowering Samoa 35-7.

New Zealand, maintaining their unbeaten record in all Commonwealth Games, outscored the Wallabies three tries to one.

Australia will play Samoa for the bronze medal after the South Sea islanders were handed a rare lesson in power play by South Africa, for whom full international Cornal Hendricks was outstanding.

Samoa opened the scoring through Samoa Toloa, but thereafter it was all South Africa, the 'Boks notching up five tries through Hendricks (2), Chris Dry, Cecil Afrika and Werner Kok.

Branco du Preez (3) and Afrika (2) made no mistake with the extras to put Samoa well out of sight.
