All Blacks Sevens Captain Scott Curry has been ruled out of the Hong Kong tournament, after coming down with the flu this week.

Experienced forward Sam Dickson replaces Curry in the starting line-up, while DJ Forbes takes over the captaincy duties.

“Unfortunately for us Scott has been ruled out of this weekend’s tournament with an illness. It is always a big loss losing your captain so close to kick-off but on the positive side we welcome back the experienced Sam Dickson into the 12, who is a more than adequate replacement,” said All Blacks Sevens Head Coach Scott Waldrom.

The team is:
DJ Forbes – Captain
Dylan Collier
Sam Dickson
Iopu Iopu-Aso
Trael Joass
Vilimoni Koroi
Tim Mikkelson
Sione Molia
Joe Ravouvou
Isaac Te Tamaki
Beaudein Waaka
