This weekend New Zealand Rugby is reigniting the search for future rugby sevens stars with the fourth edition of the Ignite7 tournament.
48 young seven’s athletes will fill four men’s and four women’s squads – Bolt, Inferno, Power and Surge.
The two-day tournament is designed to discover prospective players for the 2028 LA Olympics and future major rugby events.
Both the Black Ferns and All Blacks Sevens will participate in warm-up matches ahead of the 2025/26 HSBC SVNS Series season. They will take on Australia and Fiji, while Japan’s women’s side will also take to the field.
Expect big energy, epic speed and tries for days.
Bring the whānau. Bring the hype. See you there!
