A pair of Levis have ensured Australia remain on track for a ding-dong battle with New Zealand for a second Olympic rugby sevens gold after both teams dominated their quarter-finals in Paris. Tim Walsh’s side beat Ireland 40-7 after New Zealand brushed off some unlikely early resistance from China to win 55-5 in front of 70,000 at Stade de France on Monday. New Zealand will play United States, who beat Great Britain 17-7, in their semi-final.

Levi had her third with one minute still to play in the first half. Faith Nathan then got involved, cutting back off her left foot to make it 26-0 at the break. Charlotte Caslick defended stoutly and forced two crucial turnovers, then threw a neat short ball that allowed Isabella Nasser - daughter and sister to Wallabies Brendan and Josh - to stroll under the posts and complete the carnage.
