Thank you for joining us for the inaugural IRB Women's Sevens World Series live in Dubai. Come back tomorrow for more of the same great Rugby! The first match on day two kicks off at 09:20 local time. #Dubai7s

Jen Kish, Canada captain: "We have to keep our penalty count down. We also have to keep on to the ball and not let the other teams dictate what we do. We are always trying to come out and give a good fight."

Broken play allows New Zealand to score with the last play of the game to take it to 12-12. Just as Tyla Nathan-Wong took the conversion, the referree blew the whistle for Full time and warned that she had taken too long to take the kick. Contoversial stuff? You decide! Nevertheless a great spectacle. #Dubai7s

Patient play by Cananda as they go through the phases deep in the New Zealand half but the ball is fumbled on the New Zealand line. Following the defending scrum, Canada turn the ball over and cross the line to lead 12-7 with 1 min 30 sec remaining. Exciting stuff here at #Dubai7s

Pressure coming from Canada at the end of the first half. New Zealand conceding several penatlies and the pressure pays off as Canada cross the line. Half time score 7-5 to New Zealand.

Abi Chamberlain, England's Sevens Captain after beating Spain said: "Fantastic result, couldn't have asked for more than that. We got what we deserved I think. We started off quite slowly, but we have built on every game and bonded as a team. If we hit the ground running tomorrow, pick up where we left off today, then we have a good shot."

A lovely side step by Portia Woodman opens the scoring for New Zealand. The conversion is over and they lead Canada 7-0. They are keeping up the pressure.

We are now down to the last match of day one between Canada and New Zealand with the players running on to the field. This promises to be a big one! #Dubai7s

Tess Veldhuis of the Netherlands Women's Sevens team after victory over USA: "It's great. It was a hard game, very physical, they played very well but we are very happy we beat them. One second I just look around and think it is wonderful to play in front of so many people, but then I have to focus on the game."
