New Zealand 7s team looks favourites to win the 2009/2010 IRB World 7s Series after claiming victory in the Dubai and George 7s.

They also lead the points table with 48 points, 12 ahead of second placed Fiji.

Tietjens has already started his plan for next year and is hoping to do well in the rest of the tournaments, starting from the Wellington 7s in February.

He was full of praises for his old hands in Captain DJ Forbes, Zar Lawrence, Lote Raikabula and Tomasi Cama after the George 7s.
