The New Zealand women's Sevens side romped through the first day of the Commonwealth Games tournament in Birmingham on Friday with a 60-0 win over Sri Lanka and a 45-7 win over Canada.

The Black Ferns and All Blacks Sevens have named experienced sides for the defence of their Commonwealth Games titles.
