All Blacks sevens coach Gordon Tietjens is trying to find a way to stop a rampant South African side as his side eyes next month's World Cup in Russia.
New Zealand wrapped up their 11th World Series crown in 14 years in London and was the only team to reach every quarterfinal stage of the eight tournaments to date and going on to contest six finals.
Meanwhile, South Africa has all the momentum heading into the World Cup, winning three of the last four events, in Las Vegas, Tokyo and Glasgow with their 28-21 win over New Zealand.
The World Cup has rarely been a happy hunting ground for New Zealand teams.
They have won just one of the five, in 2001 when Jonah Lomu was part of the team.
New Zealand finished seventh in 1993, third in 1997, second in 2005 and fifth at the last cup in 2009 when the unpredictable nature of these tournaments threw up Wales as champions.
New Zealand is pooled with USA, Canada and Georgia while Fiji is pooled with Wales, Tonga and Uruguay.
The World Cup Sevens will be held on the 28th to the 30th of next month.
