New Zealand Sevens team squad announced
![]() |
The 12-men squad of New Zealand Sevens team for the final two tournaments in the IRB Seven World Series has been named by the team’s coach Gordon Tietjens.
The tournament in London is from May 24-25 and Edinburgh from May 31– June 1.
The two new caps include 22-year old midfielder Ben Nowell of Canterbury and 25-year-old fullback Kendrick Lynn of Southland.
“Ben and Kendrick are promising players with good skills, and they have demonstrated that they are ready for international rugby. They have taken well to the Sevens game and this is an ideal opportunity for them to show their talent and ability on a world stage,” Tietjens said.
New Zealand Sevens squad: Tomasi Cama (Manawatu), Edwin Cocker (Auckland), Israel Dagg (Hawke’s Bay), DJ Forbes (Counties Manukau, captain), Nigel Hunt (Bay of Plenty), Tafai Ioasa (Hawke’s Bay), Solomon King (Bay of Plenty), Zar Lawrence (Bay of Plenty), Kendrick Lynn (Southland), Ben Nowell (Canterbury), Lote Raikabula (Manawatu), Nafi Tuitavake (North Harbour).
The 2007-08 series has seen New Zealand set several records. They became the first team in the nine-year history of the IRB Sevens to have won the first four events of a season, having won the Dubai, South Africa, Wellington and USA tournaments. During the USA Sevens, they broke their own record, set in 2001 and 2002, for most consecutive match wins in the IRB Sevens. The team extended their streak of tournaments won to the first five of the season, and a record seven overall, by defeating South Africa in the final of the 2008 Hong Kong Sevens.
