“I’m proud of the girls to get that done but just because we’ve got the league title, it doesn’t mean we can slack off.
“The girls know that we’ve got more to give so nothing changes.”
Despite a much-changed side, the Black Ferns were able to put in a 46-5 win over Great Britain, who have lost 26 straight games, and easily beat Fiji and France in their other pool games.
The women’s team have won the tournaments in Dubai, Singapore, Perth and Vancouver this year, finishing second in the Cape Town tournament.

The All Blacks Sevens have not been as successful this season, currently sitting third in the overall men’s standings and only winning the season-opening tournament in Dubai.
The men’s team finished seventh in the Vancouver tournament last weekend and are set to take on Great Britain in the fifth-place semi-final in New York.
The All Blacks Sevens had issues before setting off to North America after head coach Tomasi Cama was unable to travel with the team because his visa application had not been processed in time.
