Australia triumphed in the women’s final by a score of 24-22 and put an end to New Zealand’s hegemony in the Rugby World Cup Sevens. The final game had back-and-forth play, with New Zealand leading early on before Maddison Levi’s hat trick gave the Australians a 24-10 lead. When Alena Saili crossed the line more than a minute after the clock had run out, New Zealand had one final chance to tie the game with Willison’s conversion. However, Tenika Willison agonizingly missed the golden opportunity with seconds remaining that would have extended the final match against Australia.
Willison saw her kick miss the left post and crumbled to the ground as Australia started celebrating the occasion of becoming new world champions. The New Zealand women were unable to win the World Cup for a third time in a row, just like their male counterparts. Ireland defeated England 26-10 in the playoff for seventh/eighth place, and France won bronze after defeating USA.
