He may have left nearly 1000 caps of experience out of his playing squad for the Olympics, but All Blacks Sevens coach Tomasi Cama believes old heads will still be vital in Paris

Veterans Tim Mikkelson, Joe Webber and Sione Molia will only head to the Games as travelling reserves.

And while their chance may still come, Cama says the likes of Scott Curry and Dylan Collier will be vital as they chase gold for the first time.



All Blacks flanker Ardie Savea will start for Oriental-Rongotai in capital club rugby tomorrow against Wellington at Hataitai Park.

It'll be Savea's first game on New Zealand soil since last August in Dunedin with the All Blacks, in their close win over the Wallabies.
