‘Sevens will improve’
NZPA Hong Kong A much better performance was expected from this year’s sevens rugby side in the international Hong Kong tournament, said the New Zealand Rugby Football Union chairman, Ces Blazey, in Hong Kong yesterday. Speaking in Hong Kong where he was staying overnight on the way to the International Rugby Board
annual general meeting in London, Mr Blazey said New Zealand still had a lot to learn about seven-a-side rugby.
“It’s a fact we’ve not really been involved in sevens rugby,” he said. New Zealand’s idea of how to go about the game “wasn’t as good as it could have been” for last year’s tournament, where it finished fourth, Mr Blazey said.
