    It's unlikely All Black stars will be compelled to help the New Zealand men's sevens team challenge for Olympic gold at future Games

    It's unlikely All Black stars will be compelled to help the New Zealand men's sevens team challenge for Olympic gold at future Games


    New Zealand Rugby CEO Mark Robinson says the All Blacks 7s 5th place finish in Paris will be reviewed as part of a refresh of the sport's high performance strategy.
