They're back on top but Australia's women's sevens team's new standing will face it's first test at next month's World Cup.

Consistency paid off for newly-crowned world champions Australia, who finished no worse than third in any world series leg to win by two points from New Zealand.

That is despite the defending champions winning the last three tournaments, culminating in a comfortable 33-7 defeat of Australia in the Paris finale on the weekend.

The 2016 Olympic and world series champions won't have long to celebrate, however, with next month's San Francisco World Cup still to play.

Australian standout Charlotte Caslick has an even wider focus though, saying the squad's overall development had put them in a good place for the 2020 Tokyo Games.
