New Zealand beat closest rivals England 29-17 to win the Hong Kong Sevens and take a five-point lead in the World Series race.

New Zealand scored first in the final and, although they only led by one score at the break, in the second half they never looked like letting England in and stretched away, inspired by the brilliant Tomasi Cama.

The Fijian-born playmaker was at his inspirational best and played a part in Frank Halai's crucial touchdown before the break, as well as adding one of his own in the second half as New Zealand built an insurmountable lead.

After the first five events in the World Series, New Zealand now leads with 110 points, five clear of England on 105. Fiji and Samoa lie joint-third on 84 with Plate winners South Africa on 72.
