The temperatures soared on day two and New Zealand's meritorious Cup quarter final win over Fiji cleared took it out of the players who were flatter in the semifinal loss to England be fire rebounding with their second win in two days over the hosts to clinch third place, making their best display of the 2016- 17 world series.

It was ridiculously hot after quite a cool week in Wellington. It's not really an excuse but some of the guys struggled a bit says coach Scott Wald rim. That Fiji game was finals quality and it took a lot out of the going 1m30s over time. We need to be able to handle that and get up for the next game. We let ourselves down against England, but good to see we steeped up in that last game.
