NZ won !!! in a very close final against Samoa.

Here is what stuff.co.nz said about the final

"New Zealand sevens rugby – no, make that New Zealand rugby – has a new star as Wellington youngster Victor Vito produced a match-winning display reminiscent of Jonah Lomu to lead his side to a third straight IRB Sevens title in the capital.
Vito scored two tries, including the match-winner in the final minute, as New Zealand won a thrilling final 22-17 over Samoa who gave the hot favourites the match of their lives before they finally prevailed to make it three wins from three in the new IRB series for 2007-08.
It was a fine team effort from the New Zealanders and Zar Lawrence, skipper DJ Forbes and Lote Raikabula all weighed in with influential displays, but there was no doubting who the star of the show was on a night when Westpac Stadium entered full celebration mode after a long weekend of partying.
Vito, the emerging Wellington flanker, had been picked as a possible game-breaker out wide, and he repaid Tietjens' selection in spades during this tournament. His performance in the final had Jonah Lomu written all over it, especially his first-half effort that left Samoans trailing in his wake."
