The New Zealand rugby sevens coach Gordon Tietjens has named a 20-strong squad to take part in the first training camp for the upcoming World Series season.
The camp takes place in Mt Maunganui from Monday to Wednesday.
The squad includes a mix of last year's champion team and some who have yet to play for the New Zealand sevens side.
