In a highly anticipated match of the Men's Rugby Sevens Pool A at the Paris 2024 Olympics, New Zealand showcased their rugby prowess with a solid 17-5 win against South Africa. The game, held at the iconic Stade de France, saw New Zealand's team demonstrating exceptional skills and teamwork, ultimately securing their place at the top of the group.

The match kicked off with intense energy, as both teams fought for dominance. New Zealand quickly made their mark, scoring the first try within the opening minutes, courtesy of athlete Moses Leo, who demonstrated remarkable agility and speed in reaching the try zone. Following this, the team maintained pressure, scoring two more tries, one converted successfully, bringing their total points to 17 by the end of the second half.

South Africa, donned in green, struggled to keep pace with New Zealand's aggressive plays.
