By Campbell BurnesThe Black Ferns Sevens are safely through to the Cup semifinals in Japan after getting past England to the tune of 21-5. It looked like the floodgates had opened early for the series leaders when Portia Woodman scored after just 23 seconds following a 50m burst. New Zealand's control and patience yielded a try to Michael Blyde and they were sitting pretty at 14-0. New Zealand will face Fiji, who tipped over USA 26-19, in the Cup semifinal at 5.20pm NZT.
