All Blacks 7s and Black Ferns 7s crowned World Series champions

All Blacks Sevens and Black Ferns Sevens players have received their World Series-winning medals, trophies and a slew of awards announced by World Rugby.





The season was called off earlier this year due to Covid-19 and with the New Zealand teams leading the standings in both men’s and women’s competitions they were declared Series winners. It is the first combined victory since 2014.



As well as receiving gold medals and the series trophies, individual player awards were also announced, with Stacey Fluhler the big winner.




Fluhler received the Gilbert Top Try Scorer, DHL Impact Player and was joined by teammates Ruby Tui and Tyla Nathan-Wong in the women's Dream Team. All Blacks Sevens co-captain Scott Curry was named in the men’s Dream Team.



Nathan-Wong was also recognised for becoming the second women’s player to score 1000 series points with the UL Mark of Excellence.
