England's Matthew Tait scores against New Zealand in the Rugby Sevens Final.

England were forced to settle for silver as sevens masters New Zealand claimed their third successive Commonwealth Games title in Melbourne.

New Zealand, who had beaten Fiji in the final to win both of their previous two titles, completed the hat-trick with a 29-21 win in front of a packed Telstra Dome crowd.

One reason why Australia have won so many is because they are the home nation.

The biggest reason Australia has won so many medals is that they have a great organization and an excellent team. BTW, Blackleaf, where were you at the Torino Olympics?

Britain doesn't do well at the Winter Olympics as we hardly have any snow and no proper mountains. The top countries in that competition are countries such as Canada, and Alpine countries such as France, Italy, Austria and Switzerland. Needless to say, skiing doesn't attract the following in Britain as it does in Canada or Switzerland.

Australia also didn't do too well in Torino.
