New Zealand coach Gordon Tietjens side is back to the "Glory Days", as they showed a lot of character this morning in coming back in situations where they were poorly placed.
DJ Forbes led with example, despite injuring his head, to add another feather to the cap, and make it two in a row after beating Fiji 21-12 in George this morning and winning in Dubai last weekend.
Speaking to IRB.com after the win, Tietjens said that his main aim is to win the series, and hopes that the back-to-back win in Dubai and George will work in their favour.
Tietjens adds they struggled with the weather, but is happy they got through.
Looking at the results from George, in the Shield final, Scotland beat France 28-19, Wales took the Bowl after they beat Russia
14-5 and England beat South Africa in the Plate final by 21-7.
New Zealand now lead the points table with 48 points, second is Fiji on 36, followed by in third England on 28 and Samoa is fourth on 26.
