Australia's women's rugby team faced New Zealand in the grand final of the World Rugby Sevens Series after an impressive run through the tournament, remaining unbeaten in their pool and semi-final matches. They showcased their skill with a strong start, leading 21-5 at half-time following tries from Maddison Levi and two from Teagan Levi, which included a response to an early score by New Zealand's Kelsey Teneti.

Despite their dominant performance in the first half, the second half saw a dramatic shift as New Zealand came back to take the lead, scoring three quick tries within minutes. This match marked the sixth final that these two teams contested during the season, with New Zealand having previously secured five wins against Australia. The defeat not only denied the Australians a coveted series title but also highlighted the competitive nature of women's rugby at the international level.

Coach Tim Walsh's side entered the tournament with high hopes but ultimately fell short in the final moments. The emotional loss serves as a reminder of the fierce rivalry between these two teams, with the Black Ferns having already won the overall series title before this match but determined to finish the season on a high note. The Aussies will undoubtedly look to regroup and build on their performance going forward, as they aim for future success in the series and other competitions.
