The New Zealand Sevens team have double the reason to celebrate tonight after they demolished Fiji 24-7 in the Wellington final to win their second consecutive home title tonight.
After stem-rolling to the title last year, the class of 2011/12 joins the 2004/05 teams as the only New Zealand sides to go back-to-back.
They also now lead the World Series outright, and head to Las Vegas for next weekend's fifth leg on 73 points, three points ahead of Fiji.

The man who inspired it all was ironically Fijian-born Tomasi Cama, who pulled out his full bag of tricks in setting-up two tries and scoring one himself.
World Series leading try scorer, the ever impressive Frank Halai - who now has 24 tries this season - added to his tally by bagging a double as New Zealand raced out to a 24-0 halftime lead.
Struggling to break down the Fijian defence intially, Cama pulled out his trademark cross-field kick and found Tim Mikkelson on the flank, who passed inside to captain DJ Forbes to open up an early 7-0 lead.
From the kick-off, the monster who is Halai showed why he was once touted as a mini Jonah Lomu by pushing off two Fijian defenders and scooting 40 metres for a try that oozed pace and power.
New Zealand was not finished though. Far from it. Cama threw a brilliant cut-out pass from a set-piece to give Halai his second before the Fijian master got one of his own to establish a near unbeatable half-time lead.
Fiji needed to clearly strike first after the break. But when the no-numbered Levani Botia dropped the ball for no-apparent reason with the line wide open it was clear this wasn't going to be their night.
Which was disappointing for their cauldron of fans, after they
had been so impressive in beating South Africa 21-5 in the
quarter-finals and Samoa 28-5 in the semi-finals earlier in the
day.
Cama had also inspired New Zealand's epic 19-12 semi-final win over
England.
Trailing by 12-0 at halftime, the brilliant playmaker sparked the New Zealand comeback with two magic cross-field kicks which led directly to tries.
In the first instance, with England's defence at its imposing and suffocating best, the veteran Cama summed up the situation with a touch of flair by chipping over to the wing of Sevens rookie Charles Piutau, who showed great gas in beating Dan Norton for a 50 metre try.
Still behind by five points, Cama was at it again with his kick-pass finding Halai.
While the big-man was just pulled down short, it prompted the referee to sin-bin England's James Rodwell for killing the ball in what was ultimately a crucial call.
Hosea Gear was the benefactor of the numerical advantage and on the very next play scored in the corner, and while Cama couldn't nail the conversion to avoid extra time, New Zealand entered the sudden death period looking the stronger and fitter unit.
And so it proved with Halai getting the 50 metre match-winner
and then saluting the crowd who roared in unison, knowing they had
witnessed a classic match of Sevens Rugby.
