The AB7s squad for the LA Sevens (25 - 26 February 2023)

---

Unavailable for selection: Andrew Knewstubb, Kitiona Vai, Regan Ware, Sione Molia, Tim Mikkelson, Tone Ng Shiu (injury).

The squad named for the USA and Canada rounds, will see the return of Moses Leo and hopeful All Blacks Sevens debutant Fehi Fineanganofo in the only two changes to the team, who successfully lifted the HSBC Sydney Sevens trophy at the end of January.

It's Dylan Collier's 50th tournament.

All Blacks Sevens set for Los Angeles and Vancouver leg

The All Blacks Sevens will depart for their next leg of the HSBC Sevens World Series. Now series leaders, the All Blacks Sevens have their sights first set on Los Angeles next weekend, before heading to Vancouver.

Was Fehi Fineanganofo part of the wider sevens squad? He's ex-AGS, a centre, and would only be 19/20.

I vaguely recall him being in team lists for the World Schools Sevens in the tournament before the most recent one.

I was referring to the AB sevens squad. The team list on allblacks.com is not current so it's hard to know who is in the training group at Mt Maunganui.

I don't think that NZR comms team (and the SR ones also) really understand that there is a demand for knowledge and stats about squads etc. Most player profile sections on sites are used to load the obligatory photo shoots then the profiles are very patchy.
Hopefully the Silverlake partnership really improves this to more of a US sporting standard.

What's the hold up asks he who does not have a Sky connection? The Great Britian v Spain match seems to have been stuck on GB 19 - 17 Spain with 13minutes 5 seconds played for over half an hour now.

[Toddy]

@Higgins Bad weather on the way. I think there's a worry about lightning strikes.

[Duluth]

NZ v USA game happened about 2hours late because of the weather. NZ won 36-15. Surprisingly few mistakes given the surface water

When is the game v Samoa now?

Found it. New time is 3:20pm nzt

[Stargazer]

Other result:
AB7s 26 - 7 Chile

[Stargazer]

[Bovidae]

I watched most of the NZ-Chile game. A much closer 2nd half, even when a Chilean was given a YC.

[Stargazer]

That's going well ...

[ARHS]

Great skills by nz in horrid conditions v USA. The Webber and Carter midfield is becoming more potent all the time. Collier v good today

@Higgins Uruguay played the conditions really well.
