By Campbell BurnesThere is work to do on their allround performance, but the All Blacks Sevens have started with a 2-0 record after day one of the Las Vegas tournament. They will play Argentina at 11.36am tomorrow morning (NZT) looking to top Pool C before the Cup quarter-final later in the day. New Zealand beat Kenya 24-7 in their first game, not without some difficulties, and then edged Russia 19-5 in their second outing. With Iopu Iopu-Aso binned for a no-arms tackle, and Kenya tackling hard, New Zealand were struggling to release their attacking flow. But they released it in the second spell, Tim Mikkelson, Dylan Collier and Sione Molia all scoring tries in varying manners.
